I am qualified to discuss their policies as far as how the school has effected me, i had 3 dogs from there and i think i know them pretty well. you are correct in the fact that "we" decide on our dog's fate. i understand loyalty to one's school but we, as you intimated, are consumers and should be able to comment about issues that concern minor things like our survival, ie, with the use of these dogs and how policys and everything effects us and our independence. I think there is no guide school that is perfect. i am going to san rafael next month and i really will miss the seeing eye harness. i had peter jackson twice and wouldn't be surprised to see him in san rafael,
