[nagdu] Ownership of guide dog

[Brenda]

Hi Cindy
Actually I think you agree with me.  I don't like the idea of a dog 
being returned just because it is under 5 if the handler dies or is not 
able to work the dog as a guide.  I realize maybe someone else could 
benefit from the guide but the dog is not just a piece of equipment.  If 
people have issues about returning equipment for closure reasons, how 
much harder to be forced to return the dog because of health or loss of 
life.  I agree with Marion's wife Mary that I would just have to pray I 
would not die or get sick prior to the dog turning 5 years old.  
Probably would not happen, but I will have to think seriously about this 
before applying in a few years.  I really like GDF other than that issue.

If they can't or don't want to have it, then I think that's fine, but the dog is certainly not the same as equipment, or maybe I've misunderstood what you said.
