Howard,

How would state (tax) funded guide dogs makes it more realistic with ownerships of the dogs for the handlers? (It's how I read your comment about statefunded vs. charity funded guide dogs anyway.)

In Sweden, our guide dogs are financed by the government (taxes) and we've no ownerships; we've a disposal right to our dogs; and personally, I think it sucks.
