[nagdu] Fw: Puerto Rico Guide Dog Law

Wed Sep 1 19:18:22 UTC 2010

I would have to agree with you here, I would also wonder why the laws have
not changed with the times as it seems they themselves are very dated.

Cheryl,

I never said you shouldn't go or that you'd have problems.  what I said is 
that the law does not inspire me to want to visit there.

Really Julie:

I have been to PR with Maxx more than once since my darling husband nelson
is from there, and that we had no issues whatsoever going there.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!

Cheryl and Julie,

I can't find an attachment. Is the law attached?

Thanks-

Oh my.
I always understood that Puerto Rico and  the Virgin Islands  were subject
to all the federal regulations of the U.S. like the ADA.   Is this true?

This law does not inspire me to want to visit Puerto Rico.

Julie
