So Maylee noticed all of the guide dog puppies have blogs and got a tab bit jealous. I thought that I would set up a blog for her and I to capture our times together good and bad and share it with our friends, family and other people online. It's nice to be able to talk about things that others just don't comprehend like learning to work with a guide dog and the training. Most of all, I hope to educate the public about guide dogs and people who are visually impaired. It seems like it is so badly needed and I want to be able to get rid of the anger and learn to educate more than get frustrated at the uneducated public.
The fact that guide dogs are very different than pets, but they are still dogs who do doggie things. These dogs are chosen because they love to please and work. I've come across so many people in the short period so far that May and I have been a team that pity her for working. I tell them she has it better than any other pet, she gets to go everywhere with me. Now tell me what dog gets to go to work, school, see the new Harry Potter movie, sleep at their owners feet on a plane and so do much more other stuff everyday. She gets out more than any other dog that is a pet and sure as heck gets more praise, which she loves. Now why would you pity a working dog who obviously has it better than almost all the pets out there? People like to humanize dogs, we hate to go to work every single day; however working dogs love to go to work anytime, any place they are ready to go do their job. The wonderful animals have so much dedication to their work and love to let loose when they are not working. They have the best of both worlds really.
