[nagdu] Ownership of guide dog

[Buddy Brannan]

Hi,

The issue isn't so much the cost of the equipment, as best as I understand. It's that the equipment has the guide dog school's name on it, and the school doesn't want their name to be associated with, for instance, a dog that they didn't train. This could happen, for instance, if the harness were sold on eBay. I have no opinion on this one way or the other, as there's absolutely no magic in guide dog gear.
