[nagdu] a question stemming from a hot debate

[Kolby Garrison]

Hello Everyone,
I see no problem with letting my guide dogs interact with friends and family
when they are not working. Sunny loves several of my friends and all of my
family members, and she goes nuts when she plays with them while out of
harness. For instance, I had my right eye removed this past Friday, and I am
home for one week or more recovering. My parents are handling Sunnny for me,
and she knows that it is ok to listen to them. My father takes her running
with him whenever we are home, and she loves it. My mother groomed her today
for me, and she was as good as she always is. Of course she knows that I am
her handler, and she keeps coming back to me, but it is good or your dog to
have a secondary bond with at least someone that you are close to in case
you ever need them to handle your dog for you in the event that you cannot.
