[NAGDU] {Spam?} RE: Pilot Dogs Harness Question

The Harrness is quite basic. They tell you that you can put reflective paint
or tape on but, I haven't yet.

Subject: [NAGDU] Pilot Dogs Harness Question

Hello, again! OK this is my last post for today, *smiles*!

If anyone on the list has or has had a dog from Pilot Dogs, I was wondering
if you'd be willing to describe what their harnesses look like and what
makes them different from other schools' harnesses?

I know that they are made to accommodate a clip-on chest piece, that they
have a white handle with a leather grip, but other than that, I can't quite
figure out why they seem so different. 

Are the stabilizing bunny ears attached differently? They seem different,
somehow, perhaps closer to the body of the harness. Also, is there any
reflective material on their harnesses at all? 

Despite Pilot harnesses being the ones I've seen most often, since we live
not too far from the school, I've never been able to figure out what it is
that makes them so distinct from the other schools' harnesses (like TSE,
GDF, etc.). 

Also, I love Pilot's leashes. I really wish I knew someone who sold them to
the public, because I'd buy one in a second! I like the fact that they're
adjustable and are quite a bit longer than most guide dog leashes. The leash
I'm currently using is a typical guide dog style leash, but is *much*
longer, being seven feet long from one end of the leather to the other. I
believe Pilot's leashes are about six feet long.

If there are any Pilot graduates who might be willing to answer, I'd
appreciate it so much. I love the look of Pilot's harnesses, yet can't
exactly figure out what makes them so distinct.

You can email me off-list, too, at lisiefoster @ yahoo.com. Thank you all,
again!

Sincerely,
Lisie and Finn, the Buckeyes
