[nagdu] Question about fenced in yards

[L Gwizdak]

I don't think any guide dog school would like you to allow your dog to be 
loose in a yard with a street nearby and no fence.  They put lots of time 
and money into that dog and would hate it to become road kill.

Years ago, a friend had her guide dog stolen from the yard - right when her 
sighted husband was there!  The dog was spotted a few days later on the 
median strip of Route 5 near Mexico and fortunatly was rescued and returned 
to her with the help of the local TV stations' viewers help.

Fence in a portion of the yard and your dog can safely play with YOU outside 
and supervising.
