Test Yourself

Correct! The common belief that "dependability and loyalty" can be "bred" into dogs is no more true with dogs than with children. Although guide-dogs are specially bred and trained by professionals, many of them have to be removed from their visually impaired masters because the master, not the dog, does not "live with" the dog properly, treating him with consistency and providing him with daily guidance. The guide-dog foundations have more problems with the proper teaching of the "masters" than with dogs!

Statement No. 2

It is marvelous to see a well-trained dog. The reason that seeing-eye dogs are so dependable and loyal to their blind masters is because these guide dogs are especially bred for their jobs.
