[nabs-l] Biology classes and guide dogs

[Ignasi Cambra]

I wouldn't worry too much about this. As you said, a guide dog is not a pet and they can't prevent you from taking it to class. If your dog is well trained, it will probably just lay down and wait peacefully until class is over and you want to leave.
