Hi Bibi, Mardi here. Are you going to get another dog?I think you did the
right thing for your beloved Odie. And your friend can benefit from his
medical alert work.I hope you can find a place that trains guide dogs for
wheelchair users if you decide to get another dog. If you can;t find a
place, there is always owner training. Take care and I think that Odie is a
very special dog.   Mardi and Shaman, semi-retired and Neechee,GD and Sedona
GDIT.
