[NAGDU] How much does your dog cost?

[Dan Weiner]

Hello, beautiful people.
Dan here from Florida.
Well I'm wondering how all of you answer the troubling, though I'm sure
mostly harmless question  "how much does it cost to train those dogs", some
variant of that.
I know the schools give all sorts of prices and I understand why they
mention it, for fund raising.
I would feel rather uncomfortable saying "well they say it's
twenty-thousand, or whatever to train a guide dog" I feel that is not
something I need someone thinking about while I'm walking around
town--smile.
So how doall of you folks deal with that question.
Several people have asked me this recently and I think it's of course just
curiosity, maybe nosiness, fascination, interest...but as I said I really
would prefer not to have people pondering how much the dog costs...

Any thoughts.
