[nagdu] Security check

[Nicole Torcolini]

Unless I missed something, guide/seeing eye dog does not have any more or
less rights than service dog. If it is someone who I know, then I used guide
dog. Otherwise, just for the sake of simplicity and to avoid confusion and
potential problems, I use service dog.

Tina,

Well, guide dog is the specialty. Me, I go back and forth, depending on
context. For the most part, I use guide dog, since that is what my dog does.
But when it comes to some discussions, it seems preferrable to go with the
more generic "service dog." I dunno... Many people seem not to know the
difference, and I think there are times and circumstances where it causes
confusion and problems. Then again, the number of things that cause
confusion and problems on the subject of service dogs, whatever their
specialty, is truly stunning. /shrug/
