[nagdu] Dog ownership in other areas of the world

[Bonnie Mosen]

Hi Jimmy and others. This is a very interesting topic. I am an American
living in New Zealand and brought my dog from The Seeing Eye over with me
when I moved here in 2013. We have one school here in New Zealand--operated
as part of the Blind Foundation. My understanding  is they do not offer
ownership: however, at one time, they did, but the guide dog instructors
lobbied against it. As part of working a dog in NZ, I had to get Lizzie
certified by the NZ school and have to have an instructor recertify her each
year. As someone, who has always had ownership of her dog, this was a tough
thing to get my head around.

Cheers

Good evening friends!
