[humanser] Guide dogs and in home practice

[Teal Bloodworth]

Hi

I have not had this problem however guide dogs or assistance animals as a 
whole are allowed access to anywhere the general public is allowed. If for 
medical reasons you will learn after awhile you will be able to leave your 
dog unattended for short periods of time. Depending on where you live there 
won't be a problem with resteraunts or stores because with the harness you 
should have no problems. Also i went to giding eyes for the blind in new 
york and they gave us a small book with all of the laws for every state in 
regards to guide dogs.
