Another way to look at that is that it was that person’s opinion. We all have

can't train their own guide. In my work working with problem dogs. My lack
of good vision has worked in my favor because as one person said, "You would
pose no threat to the dog and would be more in touch with what the dog is
doing because, you have to be." But, by the same token, at a guide dog
school, my work preventing me from being accepted because they felt the dog
would be in danger. Well, the owner of the school did. The other 2
trainers on the selection committee, didn't. But, the owner held the hammer
