[nagdu] some advice

[Chantel Cuddemi]

Shannon, 
Sean came to visit me with Archie not too long ago and they saw first-hand
what living with a guide dog would be like. 
They told me every time Archie barked it would scare Lola my friend's
grandchild.

Have they had bad experiences with other people's guide dogs? I know some
people are just generally worried about these things, but I'm wondering why
they're so convinced this will happen.

I hope you're able to find a place to live so that you can have your dog. I
wish you the best of luck.

Shannon and Caroline
