[nagdu] people taking pictures of dog or wanting to takepictures of your dog

[Lyn Gwizdak]

Ya know Larry, your having Holly in the pix with the bishop or your Knight 
group is a way to further society's education where they can see that blind 
folks and their guide dogs are and can be involved in general groups. 
You're a member of the Knights who just happens to be blind and use a guide 
dog.  Good for you!  People are actually very interested and curious but are 
afraid to ask for fear of making an ass of themselves - as they think.  This 
teaching and learning as we go about our lives is what breaks down the walls 
that divide us all.

>> I was talking with some members of the Utah Chapter and a woman, who was 
>> not a member of the NFB, a guest in the hotel asked me if she could take 
>> a picture of Maxx.
>> I said no. She asked me why. Well first I said, "Because I do not want my 
>> dog all over social media from strangers that I do not know", she became 
>> quite obnoxious about it. I put it to her this way. I said are you a 
>> parent, she said yes. Well would you like any of your family or children 
>> to have there pictures taken by strangers posted all over the internet. 
>> That is not right.
>> Then she got it and understood.
>> Have you had the same issues. Sometime someone tells me that they took a 
>> picture of me and the dog, and I get upset, only because they didn't ask 
>> and the same issue. I should be the one to post pictures and videos of me 
>> and maxx if I want, but not strangers.
