[nagdu] School differences

[Tracy Carcione]

Sure, you can go elsewhere next time, if it doesn't work out.  If you 
haven't been run over, or gotten your teeth smashed bashing into something, 
or fallen down a flight of stairs your dog didn't stop for.  You pays your 
money and you takes your chances.  But a problem guide dog can be a very 
serious problem indeed.
