[nagdu] Guide dog dragged from SkyTrain sufferedserious injuries

[Dan Weiner]

Well, guys, as usual, when anything happens to one of our brother or sister
guide dog users, our fellow blind cast blame.
Some of the comments by fellow listers seem to confirm that unfortunate
trend.
I think what I want to say on this issue is that I feel so sad that this
happened.Here's how I think it could have happened...maybe.
I've bee on trains and subways and there's a gap.  Since working the dog off
would mean me having to jump,  I've let my dog get off first and then I
followed.
I don't know if I'd do it quite that way after reading this article about
such a tragic event.

A mishap and a horrible one.

I know if this happened to me, God forbid a million times,  I'd be
absolutely in a state of stunned horror for a very long time.

So,  what do people who use trains and subways regularly do when they
disembark, or when they get on for that matter.
I've either done the thing I described or worked the dog off depending on
what I know about the platform and gap.
