[nagdu] Service Dog Forced To Ride In Taxi Trunk

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Yeah, I hope so, too!  Still, that is a terrible position to be put in...
Especially since showing up late when you're blind no matter what the cause
seems to be a capital offense, so there's a lot more pressure to overcome
all obstacles no matter what..  If what you're hoping to gain from the
appointment (health, life, resources, employment...) is important enough to
me, would I be stong enough to stand up for my dog first?  I hope so!  I
tend to go straight to fury when someone does something illegal -- or just
socially unacceptable -- to put me in a bind because they have something I
need just because I'm blind and they're not...  It's generally a nice, cold
fury, so that comes in handy in deciding what to do.  /evil grin/  Still, I
hope never to have to make that sort of choice.

I think it might have been a hard ting to do, but late is what I would have
been for the appointment. But you know, in the moment, it is hard to say. Of
course the bottom line is that the operator of the taxi operated out of the
law when he did what he did to her. I hope if I ever face such treatment I
will be strong enough to say no way dude.
