[nagdu] tieing up a guide dog

[Darla Rogers]

Dear Sheila,
	I well remember those days, and we needed jobs, so we bowed down to
idiots like your husband's former boss.
	I am sure his heart still hurts about that one, but I definitely
understand why he complied and hope we aren't dealing with this kind of
nonsense anymore.
Darla & hardworking Huck

in the late seventies Harold my husband was told while working as a massage
therapist in san antonio texas he was instructed by the hospital and his
boss that people wouldn't want his dog inside so they insisted that he tie
his dog out on the back patio of the hospital and she was stolen and never
returned and he has never forgotten what happened to Heidi. Now his dog is
never out of his hand outside of our apartment. 
Even when we had a fenced yard the dogs were never out for mor than a few
minutes at a time. People don't realize until it is to late what can happen.
thirty years or so ago it wasn't as easy or even posible to enforce laws.

railings. The first time the dog was tied to a railing and my friend spotted
the young dog and we went over to it. My friend checked the tags and said
this is a guide dog. We walked over to a few tents set up at this street
fair to asked if anyone knew who owned the dog. Finally the third tent we
went to the person said that is my guide dog. I said why is the dog tied up
and so far away from you. She was a massage therapist and her boss said in a
snappy tone we are watching her dog from here. I said no your not because
you didn't see my friend and I touching the dog. It was a cloudy day so at
least he wasn't in the hot sun . the dog had no water. I told the boss we
could have taken the dog and should have to teach her a lesson. He then went
to where the dog was tied up and brought it to there tent and tied it closer
to where she was. The second time was by a restaurant and the dog was tied
to a pole. The harness was on the dog. I was with a different friend and
when she saw the harness we went over to the dog and it was the same dog. I
called the school to report it . When the trainer questioned her she said
someone has it in for me.
> I wouldn't leave my pet dog tied outside let alone a guide dog. I don't
feel sorry for the man who went into the soup kitchen . He is very lucky to
have the dog returned and I hope it teaches him a lesson.
