What are the pros and cons of purchasing a retired work dog?

Getting a dog who's a retired working dog, especially if they were a guide dog for the blind or something along those lines, is fantastic. I think you're taking into your home an animal who is very accustomed to many situations and has, of course, many commands. It might be a little more difficult if it's a retired police dog, because I worry about the biting that they've been trained to do. However, if somebody's going to place that dog, the dog's probably been tested and is pretty child proof. However, you have to be careful of any dog that's been trained to bite.
