Spam
August 31, 2006
There is a certain group of people who persist in using my posts against detection dog training for their own advertising purposes. I thought very little of detection dogs when I saw them on Dlife, and their attempts to spam my blog have caused my opinion to drop to negative.
Rest assured, I will not let anyone use my blog to advertise services or goods. In fact, I've turned the commenting off of those entries and off of this entry because of the spamming.
About the only good thing I can say about them, as that the use of detection dogs is not as painful as the Glucowatch. However, they are taking a lot larger sum of money.
I've had associations with assistance dogs in the past, and in the case of legimate detection dogs, the assistant dog did cost the user any money. All expenses were paid through donations. That is true of Seeing Eyes, Canine Companions, and Texas Hearing Dogs. Anyone who is selling an assistant dog is not legimate.
