If you want to get a look at panda and also read about her training, her trainer created the following website with Panda reports.
I know for me at this moment in my life a guide horse would not be practical, even though the longevity is a great thing. My job requires a compact little guide, and a lot of traveling in a small car, irregular schedules and strange environments in different houses.
I will probably be staying with my dog. http://theclickercenter.com/2004/Panda/index.php Shelley L.

Interesting. I remember that we had a discussion here a long time ago about guide horses. I found the advantages of them over guide dogs to be interesting. SOme people to whom I mentioned them thought one would have to live in the country, and I'd never actually seen a picture--but then, I haven't read the book. smile Cindy --- "Shelley L.

There's also a picture of her with Panda, her horse. The article is, unfortunately, 8 pages, but it also discusses other birds and animals that help people with various disabilities. Unfortunately,apparently "United States government is considering a proposal that would force Edie and many others like her to stop using their service animals. But that's precisely what's happening, because a growing number of people believe the world of service animals has gotten out of control: first it was guide dogs for the blind; now it's monkeys for quadriplegia and agoraphobia, guide miniature horses, a goat for muscular dystrophy, a parrot for psychosis and any number of animals for anxiety, including cats, ferrets, pigs, at least one iguana and a duck." W e may have o do something about that. Cindy Ro MAGAZINE | January 04, 2009 Creature Comforts By REBECCA SKLOOT It's no longer just guide dogs for blind people. Service animals now include monkeys for quadriplegics, parrots for psychotics and at least one assistance duck. Should the law recognize all of them? 1.
