Hi list =3DE2=3D80=3D93

I have been trying to find out what Guide dog schools still train guide =
dogs=3D  for use in  a team with a person in a wheelchair. Years =
ago,Guide Dogs For T=3D he Blind had that kind of  program but as far as =
I know, they do not do it a=3D nymore.


I noticed on the Nagdu homepage that there is a woman in a wheelchair =
with h=3D er Guide dog walking next to her. So this would seem that =
there is at least o=3D ne school that still trained guide dogs for =
working in a team with someone i=3D n a wheelchair.

My question is=3DE2=3D80=3DA6 Does anybody here know what schools that =
might be?

Thank you very much for your help. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Diane and Jaxi
