[nagdu] I never say

[Tracy Carcione]

A couple people recently have said that companies started asking them all 
kinds of questions, after the person said he or she used a guide dog.  This 
was my experience too, so, for many years now, I just don't mention the dog. 
If I were travelling abroad, it would be different, but, in the US and 
Canada, the law is on my side, and, when I show up with my guide dog, 
there's nothing a business can do about it. Sometimes I think mentioning the 
dog makes someone think there will be a problem where no problem exists.
I do sometimes say to a taxi company that the driver has to look for me, and 
I'm the woman with the black guide dog, but even that can sometimes lead to 
problems.
