[nagdu] Ownership of guide dog

[Marion Gwizdala]

Ava,
    I believe that, under the circumstances you cite, all of the programs 
would allow you to keep your dog, as it would not be able to be retrained as 
a guide. To answer your question, the schools that give ownership upon 
completion of training are, in alphabetical order, Guide Dogs of America 
(GDA), Guide Dog Foundation (GDF), Southeastern Guide dogs, and The Seeing 
Eye.

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala
