How do you become a guide dog team? First there’s a month of classes, lectures, and training walks. But if you’re a serious guide dog user you sing to your dog. It doesn’t matter what you sing. It could be “Mairzy Doats” or “Yellow Submarine”. On my first solo walk with Corky in New York City, squeezing through the half assed construction sites and rude throngs I sang softly:
Mairzy doats and dozy doats
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too,
Wouldn’t you?
If the words sound queer and funny to your ear,
A little bit jumbled and jivey,
Sing “Mares eat oats and does eat oats
And little lambs eat ivy.”
Oh mairzy doats and dozy doats
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too,
Wouldn’t you?
