[nagdu] Wrangler, the Today show dogÉ

[Deanna Lewis]

Hi all,
I think that Wrangler is a yellow lab. And, I hate to say this, but now, pretty much anyone who has a yellow lab guide dog, or puppy in training will get comments like, "Ooooh, that dog look just like Wrangler!" or "Isn't that the dog from The Today Show?" 
Anytime I am with a friend who has the same colored guide dog, people always ask if they are related. They don't ask this now that my good friend has a yellow lab, LOL. We have to deal with the dumb things people say every day we are out working our dogs. Wranglers handler may be pestered a bit more, but eventually it should die down. 
Deanna and Pascal (who is black, so shouldn't be mistaken for Wrangler)

My concern is for the person who gets Wrangler as a guide, assuming he makes it.  That person will go everywhere with people saying, "Oh! That dog looks JUST LIKE the one on TV! Or That must be Wrangler!" Any thought of privacy or anonymity that person may desire is gone, unless they live somewhere in Canada where the TODAY show isn't broadcast.  Can anybody say maybe Yukon Territory? It's great publicity for GEB, but I wonder how thought out this was? And what happens if Wrangler doesn't succeed as a 
guide? I just don't know.    Debby and Neena
