Re: what are your opinions about guide dogs?
I'm not a dog person, so it would never happen for me. There's nothing wrong with it though if you're willing to bond with the dog while also keeping that balance between you and your off-duty pup, versus you and your working service animal. I, unfortunately, have encountered a couple of examples where the lines blur a little too much for my liking. I always thought this was a myth; surely, no one goes to a guide dog school, possibly pays to train with it, and then proceeds to fuck everything up by, say, allowing their dog to eat people food while on duty, or whine until the person gives in and offers attention. I could keep listing examples, but it's not worth it. My point is that this dog is a companion in every aspect of your life, through the good times and bad, so make sure that it's truly what you want, and also that you are aware of the difference between playtime and working time. I feel that last bit should be obvious, but, sadly, it isn't, at least not to some I've encountered.
