Well, now, I care very little for who says they own what; there's another thing in the states that goes "Possession is nine tenths of the law." It's whom the *DOG* chooses that matters more to me.
Having said that, I will now give the facts for my guide dog school: Guiding Eyes for the Blind does retain ownership of the dog for at least the first two years of a partnership; after that time, the blind handler may apply for ownership and usually receives it. At which point, I don't know what kind of action would be necessary to repossess a dog, but they'd have to prove cruelty to the animal and then go through local authorities if they wanted to repossess the dog, and the police would have to do all the work, as they would with any other cruelty case. Since *I* know I'm not cruel to the dog, and the dog knows it, I will defy any attempt by anyone else to decide otherwise. I said I was an anarchist, remember? My sensei taught me, "You are the law within your own space." Well, I've taken that to extremes in the past, and I hope never to have to do so again, but in the case of someone trying to take or hurt my dog (and I've had nightmares about this), I wouldn't hesitate to use any necessary means.
