[Blindtlk] Yet Another Question Regarding Guide Dogs

[Marion & Martin]

Terry,
    Marion Gwizdala again! Though I have not yet traveled out of the country 
with my guide dog, I intend to do so soon, as I am wanting to set up 
concerts appearances in Europe. I know that several guide dog handlers have 
traveled abroad with their guide dogs. Carlos Montas specifically comes to 
mind. He went to Spain on a class trip. The U.K. is very friendly toward 
guide dogs. I believe Pete Donahue is on this list and he knows quite a bit 
about this issue. As I mentioned to HMP, you might want to join the NAGDU 
list and network with other guide dog handlers who have traveled abroad. We 
even have a couple of handlers from the U.K., as well as from other European 
countries.

Fraternally yours,
Marion
