[nagdu] service dogs and people's fears or allergies

[Julie Phillipson]

I agree with you Buddy.  I don't think you meant it as sarcasm at all. 
Other people who don't like dogs, always seem to think blind people are the 
ones who have to make the concessions to them.  It is like if we have the 
nerve to travel into their space with a dog then we are expected to bend to 
their will.  This happened a couple times to me at the NFB convention with 
another group that was also at the hotel.  Most people don't have a problem 
but the ones who do think it must be their way or no way and I hate to say 
it but it is alive and well within our own ranks.
