[nagdu] ABC 4 viewers pay for guide dog's surgery

[Criminal Justice Major Extraordinaire]

Hi, Cheryl,
Pilot Dogs has a veternarian allowance program where they do help pay for 
veternarian costs.
Total amount is $250.00.
You are reinversed for the costs of vet care as long as the graduate sends 
in a copy of the receit.
If the expense is too high like surgery, I'd imagine that it would be best 
for the dog to just retire from service.
I have not experienced a guide dog having to go through surgery at all just 
yet throughoutt my years of being a guide dog user off and on, so really 
wouldn't know all the truth and facts.
When Odie ended up getting hurt back in 2008 as he pulled his right shoulder 
from jumping off my bed, Pilot would have gladly stepped in to help cover 
the cost of medications and treatment granted by the vet.
Thankfully, Odie didn't need to have any surgery done on the right shoulder 
as it was just a strain.
No, he couldn't work for a week and it was hard on him having to be still 
and not active.
Both my husband Dale and I continuously massaged that shoulder upon giving 
him the prescribed meds to help with inflamation and pain.
I'm not sure about other other guide dog schools and I also wonder if we do 
have other guide dog schools' representatives on list too.
