In my opinion, I think it would be 2. a good learning experience for all the students.It would help make the relationship between the blind child and his working dog 3. stronger (strong).When I was in the 4. ninth (nine) grade, there was a blind student who came to school part time and he usually brought his dog.It didn't influence our studies.Though in the 5. beginning (begin), many of us were curious(好奇的) about the dog, we soon became used to it.In fact, he showed us 6. what his dog could do for 7. him (he) after class, and we learned a lot about assistance dogs.
