Generally speaking: insurance for blind people pays for all medical and other costs of the dog. So he gets money for vet visits and food. You can also claim these costs on your tax forms at the end of the year as well. The reason why these are covered is because insurance sees the dog as an extension of your medical care so it's covered if blind or disabled in such a way that you require a dog.
After retirement they are only looked like a pet and obviously no longer covered.
One real issue that might be money related is that it takes 2-4 weeks to go though training with a new dog. Sometimes even seasoned dog users are still required to be there for a month but if you have worked with them before and know your abilities you might only go for 2 weeks. If the money required to board the dog is the problem I could understand it more.
Otherwise honestly I don't get the issue he would have with money and keeping a dog (unless the dog has a lot of health issues - which probably isn't the case as they retire those dogs quickly).

Eric Lundin is thankful some people do come to the rescue when other people need help.
Lundin, 83, tells us he was alone at his Rice Lake Township home in early January because his wife and daughter were on a shopping trip. He doesn’t remember exactly what day it was — Jan. 1 or 2, he thinks — but he knows it was cold outside.
Still, Lundin didn’t put on a jacket when he stepped outside to take out the trash. Unfortunately, he missed a step and found himself in a snowbank and unable to stand.
However, he was able to work around to the front of his house. Although some people did drive by, he thinks it was only about 15 to 20 minutes before a motorist stopped. A woman got out of the car, checked on him, and came back to cover him with two or three blankets. She called for help, and Rice Lake Township volunteer firefighters responded. They called for an ambulance, and Lundin was taken to St. Luke’s hospital.
It turned out he had broken his right leg in three places. After a few days at St. Luke’s he remained at the Benedictine Health Center until being sent home in June.
Lundin, who still walks with a cane, never was able find out who the good Samaritan was who came to his rescue. The volunteer firefighters even tried to find out for him but didn’t have any luck, he said.
But he remains grateful for her help.

Helping out without looking for anything in return.

I'm reading through this thread on my lunch and laughing thinking the same thing. Made it to the second "feel good" story before the debating started

HAWLEY, Minn. – Since returning $2,800 she found in the parking lot of a Moorhead McDonald’s, Erica Clark has been inundated with media attention and gifts from well-wishers who want to repay her act of selflessness and integrity.
On Friday night, Clark, an assistant coach for the Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton boys’ basketball team, received her biggest surprise: a gift box full of 28 crisp $100 bills presented by WDAY-TV reporter Kevin Wallevand.
Wallevand presented the surprise to Clark just before the start of a varsity basketball game in Hawley. He said an anonymous donor asked WDAY to present Clark with the gift after seeing her story in the news.
On Tuesday, as Clark was leaving the Moorhead McDonald’s after eating lunch with her parents, she found an envelope in the parking lot. She brought the envelope with $2,800 in $100 bills to the police department, where officers tracked the money to a Wells Fargo bank.
A Moorhead man withdrew the money from the bank to buy a new truck. He realized it was missing when he went to buy the truck, and returned to the bank to see if he had lost the money there.
Wallevand said someone who wished to remain anonymous heard about what Clark did and wanted to do something to honor her.
Clark said Friday she had no idea she would be given such a gift. WDAY-TV alerted only her father, head D-G-F basketball coach Mike Clark.
“It was so hard to keep this secret,” he said.
Friday night’s gift wasn’t the only donation that honored Clark’s good deed. A man – who also wished to remain anonymous – dropped off an envelope with $200 for Clark at The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead on Thursday.
Moorhead police and Wells Fargo also recognized her good deed.
The man who lost the money has asked to remain nameless, but met with Clark on Wednesday and also offered her a reward.
The Minnesota State University Moorhead student, who is studying elementary inclusive education, said she isn’t sure what she will do with all of the gifts, but the attention has been a shock to her reserved demeanor.
“It’s definitely been overwhelming,” she said. “I just want to send a huge thank-you to (everyone).”
