[nagdu] Class Date

[Eve Sanchez]

Thanks, I always get worried about dogs getting reasigned when they do
not work out. Sometimes, I think they need career changes, not handler
changes. Hopefully it worked out for her. I know sometimes it is hard
to talk about depending on the reasons they do not work out. I had a
dog that needed a career change and was concerned when someone told me
she would be reavaluated and get more training for reasignment. This
particular dog needed to be reasigned to guard duty not guide duty. I
am sure they figured it out though with her as it was very obvious
behavior issues. Still, I always wonder when I hear stories like this.
A friend also had her dog get a career change after she failed as a
guide dog. Funny, she was one of the few Labradors I liked and I
thought she would have made a good guide. Her issues were unexpected
though and there was little that could be done. I wrote a story using
her as the main character inspiration,. It is about a guide dog that
receives a career change and all that she goes through until she finds
the right place, a home with a terminally ill child whose spirits ar
lifted by this dog. Well, thanks for answering. I hope that your new
dog is working out great and that Princess also has a good life. Eve
