  There have been in the past some NFB members who have thought that all blind
  folks need to use canes. Like using a guide dog is taking the wrong route in
  being the most independent blind person possible. I don't know anyone who
  thinks this now, this was more of a thinking in my grandfathers time. 

  I do hear people all the time outside of the organization say that NFB
  members and as a organization we do not like dogs. My response to that is,
  if we as NFB members, as I as a NFB member, why do I use a dog, why do we
  have a division dedicated just to the use of guide dogs. Furthermore, the
  National center has a relief area set aside for guide dogs. Apparently our
  leaders thought having a relief area was important enough to have one set
  aside. Usually they can't answer that. But if someone is so bent on thinking
  that the NFB does not like dogs, there is not much I can do to change their
  minds. 

  Just my two cents,
  marsha

  I initally thaught it was because some folks thaught it was no different
  than sighted guide or using someone elses sight.  I have sence learned that
  some people don't like the fact that some guide dog users don't claim there
  poop.  I for one will pick up poop even if it may not be Hollys if I'm not
  sure but I've heard some non dog users complain.  Some quite bitterly!  
  Intelligence is always claimed but rarely proven!
