[nagdu] GDB Information was RE: Evaluation from Guiding Eyes

[Brandon A. Olivares]

I’m also interested in hearing.

From my perspective, I felt like they played games with me. They would act like everything was okay, then complain about something they never said was such a problem. The guy who interviewed me said he would recommend me for a guide dog, but then he allegedly gave a bad report. They were not at all up-front about what they wanted from me, and I was 99% sure I was getting in. It was nothing to do with mobility or anything like that, as he said I was a very good cane traveler.

Peace,
Brandon
