Our flight to & from Las Vegas was short and sweet even though it was a little bumpy and very crowded! Since we couldn't get a bulkhead seat, I was crammed in a super tight space under the seat with Nikki's purse, Greg's jacket, and other human belongings!!! I slept through most of the ride. after all, it was just like elevator and bus ride with a little jolts here and there. Kind of fun, huh!!! Nikki has to really appreciate the fact that I'm a small and easy going girl!
Thanks to the GDB training, I had no problem with the airport security check point. When they patted me down, I thought they were ready to play with me, so I got a bit too excited. That was the only thing that prevented me from being perfect! People kept pointing at me and said "Look, Seeing Eye dog!" Even the security and flight attendants kept calling me a Seeing Eye dog! But Nikki didn't say anything. Wait a minute! Am I not a proud guide dog from GDB??? Oh, I get it; Seeing Eye has become a name that refers to guide dogs in general, just like Kleenex for all tissues.

Glad your flight went well -thats a good analogy!
Very good analogy! I am always getting people asking if the pups are Seeing Eye dogs, and I use the brand analogy. I am just glad that people understand that the ups are in training to be working dogs.
Good girl Coral! I get the "seeing eye dog" thing a lot too... sometimes I try to explain (often with that same analogy!) but if I am feeling lazy I just say something like "yes, he's being trained to be a guide dog," not using the phrase seeing eye dog myself and not get into it! Have fun in Vegas!
