[nagdu] Tell the whole truth

[Natalie]

Hi Larry, et al,
Sometimes that is true that the student is not doing what's necessary.  Whoa 
to that student.  What the heck is up with that?  One of the trainers at GDA 
was telling us of a student who lived in the SoCal area, and apparently when 
he got the dog, he apparently called a cab and just left the dog in the 
room.  Just packed his stuff and left.  I could only imagine what that dog 
must have been feeling, in light of the various transitions.  I just about 
started crying, sigh.  That's just nuts when a student thinks getting a 
guide dog is just getting the dog and leaving, so to say.  If that were 
true, schools might just issue a DVD with all the instructions and there's 
no investment.  Wow.
Best,
Nat and Liam Joshua
