Richard,

	As I mentioned in another post, the Guide Dog Foundation transfers
ownership upon completion of training. They will not repossess a dog
unilaterally; they will contact the local animal services and have them
investigate it. In fact, GDF will not take anonymous complaints. If a
complainant refuses to divulge their contact information, they wil refuse to
take the complaint. This is how it should be with all guide dog training
programs. Anything less is paternalistic and undignified!

Fraternally yours,
Marion

Hi;

While I'm at my keyboard: I would have never thought that a school would
basically repossess a guide dog unless there were cruelty complaints.
Unfortunately, someone locally had an incident with guide dog foundation
when an instructor came out to "help" with an intersection that was a
problem.  Fortunately she got the dog back from the school after they worked
with it and to my surprise will be getting another guide from them soon.

Richard
