Meet Ace! 75 pounds of dog! His tail is constantly knocking things about but we already love him. He'll only be with us for about a week before we take him back to begin his training. Again I'll feel like I'm taking my child to boarding school!
Bob Newhart told a great Guide Dog joke. George Shearing, a blind jazz pianist, was on a flight from Los Angeles to New York. In those days, there was always a fuel stop somewhere in the Midwest. They landed in Chicago and during the time of refueling, the passengers usually left the plane to stretch their legs. Remember this was in the days when one walked down stairs that were rolled up to the exit. George remained inside with his guide dog Lee tucked under the seat. After a time, the pilot came back and asked if he'd like him to take Lee for a walk. George agreed, thanked him and gave him the dog. About 15 minutes later, the seat partner commented that about 40 - 50 people seemed to be milling around the bottom of the stairs, reluctant to get back on the plane because they saw the pilot get off the plane assisted by a Guide Dog!
