[nagdu] Guide dog resources abroad

[minh ha]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there are guide dog resources for people traveling
abroad, especially in Italy? I am looking into studying abroad for a
semester my junior year and I want to do some research into this area
before I go any further with the application process. My dream has
always been to go study in Italy, but I'm really nervous about having
my guide dog with me as I have heard stories of people's guide dogs
taken away while they were abroad. I'm also thinking of my own ease of
travel as well; if I go, I would obviously want to travel to the
different countries in Europe. How would this work with a guide just
in terms of customs and regulations of the countries? If you have any
information/knowledge/experience/guidance you can give me, I would
really appreciate it as I'm having an extremely hard time figuring out
what would be in my and my guide dog's best interest.

Cheers,
Minh
