The dog is back.

One of my coworkers raises puppies for the guide dogs for the blind program. He is raising one now.

They just got their trainee from last year back. He failed out of the program because he's too afraid of aggressive people, and reacts in part with aggression of his own. Those dogs have to be able to take a lot of stress.

They're going to keep him as a pet. Honestly, my coworker seems as thrilled as the dog does.

And I only flinched briefly when I saw him, and only because I hadn't known he was coming in, hadn't seen him in a while. I can deal with dogs so much better these days.
