[nagdu] Some people Do Know...

[Marion Gwizdala]

Will,
    What is interesting about your story is the level of disrespect 
exhibited by the employee. You had already said your dog didn't get 
attention while on duty and he said he "knew about guide dogs"; however, he 
must have thought the "No Petting" rule only applied to those who know 
nothing about guide dogs, huh?
    Merry and I had a similar encounter a couple of weeks ago. We were 
shopping in WalMart when a woman walked up to us and said, "You have 
beautiful dogs! I know I'm not supposed to pet them, but they are just so 
beautiful! Can I pet them?" Merry replied in a very terse tone, "No! They 
are on duty!" Later Merry acknowledged that she was very stern in her reply 
and the woman seemed a bit offended; however, she knew better and shouldn't 
have asked!

Peace!
Marion
