Congratulations! This is a wonderful experience for you and the students. when I gave a talk, I always took my dog. The children were messmerized by the dog, and listened intently to me. I told them about my experience at the school for guide dogs, then how the dog works. Demonstrations are a must. they really get excited, especially if you choose someone from the audience to try the dog out. This is, if your dog will tollerate someone else using it. I had a wonderful German shepard that loved kids, so it worked out well.
You will find this a wonderful experience. Do it, by all means. Have fun. fay from Missouri-----Original Message----- From: pam
