Yes, Hannah, I am sure GDB does train there. What I was saying was
that I was having a brain fart thinking she should have had that
training and not taking into consideration that she could have gotten
her dog from anywhere and not from GDB. These kinds of brain farts
like I had are the reasons we need to think before we speak. Sure
someone who has never encountered something like BART would not know
what to do with it. It all makes sense. Sorry if my mention confused
you, that was the point I was trying to make... If we do not think of
what we are saying, we can cause confusion and mislead people. Eve
