[nagdu] A cane user interested in a dog guide

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Ken.
I agree with your classmate.  Ben is my 6th guide dog.  He's not the best by 
any means, but he's still pretty darned good, and well worth having.

Angelina, I've been to 2 schools.  I chose them both because I felt they had 
good training and good dogs, and I liked the vibe I got from the staff and 
graduates I met.  When I switched, I had some philosophical reasons, but 
mainly I wanted to train closer to home, instead of going across the whole 
country.
IMO, they all sound good on paper, so I think it's important to talk to both 
staff and graduates, and, if possible, to visit the campus.
Tracy
