OT: Guide DogsMonica,
I have a Guide Dog. In fact he is my fourth guide.
I would strongly suggest that your daughter contact Guide Dogs for the Blind
and discuss this with them. I believe it a good idea to talk with more than
one guide provider just as you would for medical treatments.
She can find a great deal of info and contact info on their website at:
www.guidedogs.com
I wish your daughter the best of luck.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OT: Guide Dogs
My daughter was turned down for a guide dog from the Seeing Eye because
they felt she has too much vision to safely use a guide dog. She is devastated
and my heart breaks for her. I know there are several members of this list who
work with and know much more than I do about training and working with guide
dogs. I'm hoping some of you kind people will email me off list. I'd like to
ask whether it makes sense to apply elsewhere. I'd also like the names of some
books about training Guide Dogs so my daughter can better accept the rejection
though understanding. She's in her second year college. I think the
administration at the small liberal arts college she attends in Pennsylvania
are going to be disappointed. They were so excited about supporting her that
they'd already set aside a rare single room in a dorm suite for her and "the
dog".
