Go to a Guide Dog website and educate yourself.

In a nutshell, if the guide dog develops fear of other dogs from an attack, it becomes useless out in public and will have to be retired. In the meantime training a new dog costs $50K, and the blind person's life gets turned upside down while transitioning to the new dog.

Of course this incident may have been preventable with a responsible breed ownership decision.
