> The dog always seemed miserable What does that mean? The point of outside time for a pet is to get a ridiculous serotonin high and pee where-ever they want. The point of outside time of a guide dog is to do work. If you compare me while I am at work to a person who's out at a bar with friends, I probably look "miserable". That doesn't mean I'm being abused at work. It just means that animals who work for a living (me, the dog) sometimes need to tone down the hormone rush in order to do our jobs. Does this dog look miserable when in public, or does the comparison set (all the other dogs in public) simply look like the peak of hormone high?
