[nagdu] Service dog ID required at Statue of Liberty

[Christel Sogenbits]

Hello!

I have a question... If I come to USA with my guide dog then how can  I
proove that she really is trained guide dog? Beacuse we dont have these ID
cards for dogs and eaven if we would have then I am sure that it wouldnt  be
okay in States beacuse it would be in Estonian.... Or eaven if it is in
english then  it is not given out in States....

Hey Mark,
Back in the 1970s, before I got a dog, I went to the Boston Museum of Fine
Arts and a security guard was almost going to deny me the use of my white
cane!  After explaining what it was, I had no more trouble.  He was just
worried that i was going to do damage to the artwork with it.

But, it seems that the more we educaste about guide dogs or white canes, the
more people are dense about what these things are for.

Enjoy your day.
