[nagdu] Guide dog injured on escalator

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Cindy,

Sad, but true.  Sigh.  I notice that there's always that sympathy play in
these kind of media stories.  Poor, helpless blind person can't get out of
his/her chair without the dog.  Sigh.

Well, I would probably find someone to care for the dog for me and would go 
to work as I know that I can go to work successfully without the dog, but I 
would also be concerned that the dog was getting the care it needed. Sadly, 
though, people really would be more attentive to the fact that we needed to 
sit at home bedcause we couldn't make it to work without the dog than they 
would be if we were inconvenienced by having to get care for that dog while 
we went to work without it. It brings out the sympathy more fully. I, 
personally, am plenty willing to be sympathetic about the accident in the 
first place.
