	Description:		No support and a lot of stress. That's how some clients of K9 Search Medical Detection feel after getting disability assistance dogs from the Manawatu trainer. As previously revealed by Checkpoint, it was last year stripped of its right to train such dogs, which have access rights to public places. But the dogs it certified before are allowed to keep their assistance status. While some clients feel abandoned, there is also support for the organisation's work. Jimmy Ellingham reports.
