[nagdu] Perceptions

[Dan Weiner]

Well, I've heard the same thing from folks who graduate NFB training
centers, I swear one man says,  "I got my life back". So what do we
conclude?
Perhaps of course some of it is the misconceptions about guide dogs or the
self-promotion of the guide dog training centers...but maybe also anything
that allows you a feeling of freedom that you can do what you want to do or
hope that you can might cause a similar reaction.
And I think I've written more than five messages today, so sorry if I did go
over my quota.

Hi.

 

Unfortunately, I've actually heard some guide dog users say,, "I have my
dog; now I got my life back.  At one of my guide dog graduations, at least
one person said that.  I think this perpetuates the perception that guide
dogs are super heroes.  Sometimes they are; like the one who got between the
user and the buss, but using a guide dog is all about team work.  Without a
good handler, it goes without saying that the guide dog doesn't work well.
