[blindlaw] Guidedog verses white cane

[Paul Harpur]

I have a professional and personal question I wanted to ask for people’s views.
I am totally blind and went from using a white cane to my first
guidedog back in law school in 2000.  Since then I have always used a
guidedog.  I tried for a while to use a white cane when my first baby
came home and now that he is 1 I put my name down for a dog again.  I
am not sure how:
1.	A guidedog will go with a crawling baby; and
2.	How I will be received using a white cane in the profession.
Has anyone had experiences good or bad they could share with me?
