of a two-part series on considering the decisions surrounding applying for a
guide dog. This session focuses on exploring the very real and compelling pros
and cons that come along with handling a guide dog. We want to offer an
alternative to the standard cautiously crafted, and sometimes vague answers to
many of the common questions that potential guide dog handlers have.<span> </span>We are giving clear and less ambiguous
answers exploring both sides of these considerations. Working with a guide dog
isn’t a list of 3-star reviews, but rather a range of experiences. Everyone
must apply their own personal equation. <span></span></span></p>
