[nagdu] process of getting a guide dog from leader dog

Fri Aug 21 00:44:40 UTC 2015

When you say increase your independence, what exactly do you mean? Remember, a dog isn't a cure all for o and m struggles. With that being said, I can see how your answer could go in several directions. I guess what I'm getting at here is it would be nice to know specifically how you wish to utilize a dog to increase your independence.
