Well, although I see no reason for you to not get a guide dog before
your senior year, depending on your individual circumstances, it may be
wise to wait till you're through with high school.  Do you think you
would be able to convince your classmates that your pooch is a working
animal, and not to mess with it, etc.
     Seriously, probably the best thing to do would be to discuss this
with Seeing Eye or whatever guide dog school you decide on, and go by
their advice.
                                                        Willie
 

... Even if you're not the lead dog, the view can be interesting!
