[Mt-blind] service dog training schools in Montana

Thu May 10 14:08:03 CDT 2007

Greetings,
        I think that some misunderstanding is growing things way out of
proportion.  I believe that Kayla was working with a dog which was to be
trained for a service animal, not that Kayla  was training a blind guide
dog..  Didn't it indicate that she had her own "trained" dog from San
Rafael?  I don't remember anywhere it stated she was training the dog
concerned with as a Blind Guide dog.

        If I am wrong, I apologize, but we need to be sure of what we are
replying to.  Even myself.
