[nagdu] a new guide dog program

[Lisa Irving]

This is too funny! I wonder if you can base your school out of one of the 
NFB training centers, or even their headquarters. Go girl!

>> 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
