Heya all!

I've decided to start my very own, brand spankin' new guide dog program!  Of 
course it will be totally state of the art.  The very latest in offering 
blind people all the rights and privileges they so want.

All training will happen in your home environment.  We will drop off the dog 
to you on Monday morning with a booklet describing the use and care of the 
dog.  since you are very skilled in blindness alternatives, this shouldn't 
be a problem.  this is for your convenience.  should you have questions 
please call the number in the booklet and leave a message.  Someone will 
call you back when we feel like it.

The trainer will not disturb your normal routine during the home training 
process.   You will be free to take the dog wherever you like as soon as you 
like, immediately after signing all the release of liability forms.  If you 
or the dog experience a mental health crisis please seek the services of a 
professional.

None of the dogs will be given health testing or hip X-rays.  You, being a 
competent blind person, will be able to administer any complicated medical 
interventions the dog may need.  Please see Appendix A in the booklet for 
troubleshooting tips.

In line with our forward philosophy on blindness, we firmly believe that all 
blind people, regardless of their background, experience, available time or 
inclination can be competent dog trainers.  We therefore will provide only 
the barest minimum of training.  Should you experience difficulty, please 
see Appendix B of the booklet for suggestions.

We do not want to be viewed as a charity for the blind because this would be 
demeaning to blind people.  We therefore charge $75,000 for each dog.  We 
are sorry that refunds or guarantees are not available.  The purchase price 
must be paid in full before delivery of the dog.

In keeping with our hands off approach to the training experience, your 
privacy and independence, we will not be offering any follow up services. 
After dropping off the dog to your home, you will never again hear from any 
of our staff.

Sincerely,
The C.R.A.P. Guide Dog School
