[nagdu] nfb quiz

[JULIE PHILLIPSON]

the estimate is around 5% but it is a hard number to pin down because there 
is so much turn over all the time with people retiring dogs or  for what 
ever reason going back to a cane or just being between dogs.  If you think 
about it how many dogs can all the schools put out in a year and then 
multiply that number by how many years that dog is working.  Its a pretty 
subjective number to come up with.  When I first started using a guide dog 
the estimate was 3% so now it is 5%.  Its pretty amazing that it is such a 
small number but that still translates to a bunch of us out there with dogs.
