They had tons of questions and loved to share about blind people they knew or books they had read.  My standing rule is that there is no dog interaction until after the class is over and then it depends on the particular dog and they have to listen to me.  anyway most of the obsession wears off after a few class sessions.    After one of the classes, one of the girls asked if she could give Monty a hug.  I was contemplating what to say when the girl's friend spoke up.  "Why do you want to give the dog a hug?  Why don't you want to give her a hug?" and then she asked me for a hug.    I really appreciated her recognizing that there was a person on the other end of the leash.   There is hope for the future.
