[blparent] Blind walking with strollers

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I've posted an article once or twice about pulling a stroller while working 
a guide dog, but I would guess you could use a cane as well.  Should I post 
the article again?  It should be in the archives.  To tell the truth, I 
never tested how well the technique would work because I found it easier to 
just carry my daughter in my free arm till she got big enough to walk and 
hold my hand.
