[NAGDU] guide dog matching process

[Tracy Carcione]

My guess is yes.

Though often I think they really use 1 of the following 3 methods:
They look at the students, pick out some characteristic, and pick the dog
name they think would be cutest to go with that.  "She works in a delli, so
she should get Pickles!"
Or
Each instructor picks out the dog they think would be best for a student in
their class section.  In cases where someone else has chosen the same dog,
they have a wrestling match, and the winner gets the dog.
Or
They look at which students have the most experience, and give them the dogs
that need the most work to bring them up to snuff.

Hi all,
On another list someone was asking about the matching process at a specific
school, and I was wondering, is the matching process pretty much the same or
at least fairly similar at all of the schools? Just curious that's all.
Thanks 
Madison
