Donna,

        I know five women who received male guide dogs from the Seeing
Eye.  When I was at The Eye there was this guy in training with us who
kept preaching that women shouldn't get male dogs because the dogs
always became unruly during a woman's menstrual cycle.  Boy, we all got
more than a few chuckles out of that one!
