My wife use to be afraid of dogs. If she saw a dog up the road she would make me walk miles round to avoid it. At the sight of a dog she would start shaking. When I got a guide dog she pulled out all the stops to have it in the house. She overcame him and they got on well together and my other two guide dogs she loved them all. But she still wouldn't accept any other dog outside. I thought she was a very brave wife to do that for me, when she could have said no at the beginning. Malcolm.
