[nagdu] Radio interview this morning

Sat Dec 6 23:20:49 UTC 2014

During my nearly forfty year career in TV news, I worked with a lot of 
different photographers.  All you really have to do is say, "My guide dog is 
having trouble because of where you are. You're making it harder for him to 
do his job." I can't think of one I ever worked with who wouldn't have siad, 
"Sorry" and found a different way to get the shot.

Because they can see and don't use guide dogs, it just doesn't occur to them 
that an angle that might look great in the story is interfering with the 
dog's work. And when they're working, they sometimes lose track of what's 
going on around them. They sometimes need to be reminded.
