Except that you can't warn them when you've moved things. My sister
moved no furniture in her house for a few years, because her dog Roger
was blind. She did major moving around after he died.

No, it requires demonstration of the facts.

Perhaps it does, but it is difficult to know, since human fluency in
Dog Talk is somewhat poor.

We're pretty sure the dog knows more about blindness than you do.

This statement requires the total suspension of disbelief and absolute
ignorance of the processes involved.

This statement requires the total suspension of disbelief and absolute
ignorance of the processes involved.

Oh, well, since YOU see no controversy, there must BE no controversy.

That's how it IS when you have your own newsgroup to play in.

I am impressed on how people can navigate busy streets, either in London or
in So Cal with a guide dog. They have nerve enough to cross a street where
I fear to tread.

Oh, 2 t's.

I'm smarter than you, they're smarter than you, we're smarter than
you!
Blah blah, who cares

I was roaming the streets of Central London and happened to see him.
Well we didn't actually "meet", in the conventional sense of the term.
He was just walking by (aided by a dog) and I passed him closely.
