[nagdu] Papers on my Dog at a Resort

[Ann Edie]

Hi, Darla,

I hope you will not let them discriminate against you this way.  This is
exactly why we have the ADA and other laws--to prevent discrimination based
on disability (including the use of service animals.)  I know it's a pain to
have to stand up and fight for our rights all the time (or what seems to be
all the time, in any case.)  But sometimes all it takes is a conversation
with management to remind them of the law.  And whatever it takes, if we do
it for the next person with a disability, and if they stand up and fight for
the right for us when they encounter discrimination, then we all shall live
in a world with more equal access and less discrimination.

Good luck, and go get 'em!

Best,
Ann

A friend and I plan to spend a week at the Pepper Tree Resort in North
Myrtle Beach, SC; she told them I have a guide dog; now they want to see
paperwork.  Personally, I believe they are a public accommodation and thus
my dog should not have even needed to be motioned, but you can't cont5rol
what a sighted person says.

                My husband and I were excluded from a senior organization
that, among other things, took day trips to places--and perhaps even some
overnighters--but a relative had to interject that I have a guide dog, and
you can guess the rest of the story.
