One thing that's never been mentioned in the canes vs. dogs issue is the 
added food cost associated with the dog.  That averages to about a $20 
to $30 increase in the weekly food budget.  You have to have a love for 
animals and I don't.  I agree with David Andrews because in the event, 
something should happen to your dog, You'll need the skills with the 
cane while waiting for a class to open up.
