[nagdu] another what would you do question

[Lyn Gwizdak]

Hey Julie,
It sure is miserable when other people have service dogs that are 
aggressive.

You shouldn't be the one to leave your dog home - that other person should 
leave their aggressive dog home.

I'd say, see for yourself and make sure the two dogs aren't on top of each 
other or face to face.  Maybe in the van, one of you sits up front and the 
other one in the back where the two dogs won't even see each other.  My two 
cents.

Lyn and landon
