I met one of the failed guide dogs....Fergus....he was the supervisor's own pet and great uncle to the last pup we had. He stood, and I jest you not, over four feet high :yikes: He put his paws on my shoulders and straightened up to over six feet tall.
He failed because he was too friendly; he stopped to talk to every person he met instead of focusing solely on his owner.
Lovely dog though, curly coated retriever mix with another water hound of some kind iirc.

Aye I had a pal who's Mum was a walker for Guide dog respite. Good looking chap - tended to wear sunglasses and use the dog to meet unsuspecting girls... Bad man.
