[nagdu] Intro and a Uber question

[Ashley and Landon Coleman]

Welcome to the list, Greg! I know that there is a call driver button in 
the Ubar app. I don't know more than that since that service is not 
available in my home area.

My name is Ashley. I have a six year old guide dog from Guiding Eyes for 
the Blind. We have been working together for four years.

Welcome to the list! :)

> I am brand new to the list and so thought I would drop a note to introduce myself and ask my first question. My name is Greg and I’m a teacher of blind students in the Atlanta, GA area. I am currently working with my second guide, a golden retriever named Nikon from the Seeing Eye. I look forward to connecting with other guide dog users and learning from the community.

I have run into enough friction in my area from uneducated cab drivers that I generally try to notify the cab dispatch that I have a service animal when I request a ride so that I don’t have to argue with cab drivers when they arrive. Is there a way to notify the Uber driver ahead of time that I have a service animal? Do others on this list recommend disclosing that I have a dog ahead of time or not? I am open to feedback.
