[nagdu] going on a bus

[Sean Moore]

You know its just annoying when people are like that. Its weird for me since 
my mum is Filipino and has this view of dogs as just pets and sometimes 
workers. But Franklin loves my mum to death, and can find her anywhere in 
public.

Every time they come to pic me up for a visit home. Franklin goes nuts and 
runs to the van/ truck and jumps around in circles with joy at seeing them.

Hi Sean,
you had some experience on the bus. I have gone through that many times. The 
drivers know the first two front seats are for disabled people. Why ? 
because there is more room. Back in the 80's when I was commuting to the 
Helen Keller School to learn computer I had to take a bus in a bad 
neighborhood to get to the train. A woman got on at a stop and saw me and 
started to scream about the dog and wanted me thrown off the bus. She said 
those people shouldn't be allowed on public transportation. The driver told 
her to step off the bus and wait for another one as he was not throwing me 
off with my dog. I told the woman those people (meaning me) have more rights 
to ride the bus than you do. your sighted you can drive a car I can't. I 
don't have a choice. the driver was very nice and said he liked my come 
back.
Another time I was meeting a friend at a bus stop and we were going on to 
the NYC for the day. She was a cane user and I had my dog. On the train a 
man got on and asked me to sit in a different car because my dog was evil. I 
had Parker a black lab. He said black dogs are evil. I told him I was not 
moving and he could go sit in another car. I told him my dog is a blessing 
from GOD and its dog backwards no matter what color my dog is . the 
conductor said he had a turban on his head. My friend was nervous and said 
that is why I won't get a dog. to many problems. I said there are no 
problems with you stand up for your rights. Its educating the public. We had 
a wonderful time in the city with no problems.
Marilyn and Anna
