I am wondering if anyone got the first e-mail I sent about Princess Cruise Lines this week that I posted. I also didn't get a post from NAGDU.

This has to do with a good thing, you can pay for a seat for your guide dog if you want, but why should be have to pay for our dogs, they are not charged on buses, cruises, trains, etc.

  So, this is kind of different, but I feel that it falls into the same 
  category. One of the reasons that I think that guide dogs should have their 
  own seat on airplanes is because, when they do not, there would not be an 
  air mask for them should the cabin lose pressure. No, I have never been in 
  that situation, and probably very few of us, if any, have, but it is still 
  one of those terrible thoughts that lingers in the back of your mind.
