[nagdu] Question abound trave with a University

[Marion Gwizdala]

Dear all,

	I tend to disagree with the opinion that telling a placed of public
accommodation that we use a guide dog is more considerate. In my opinion,
what is inconsiderate is when a place of public accommodation attempts to
tell me I am inconsiderate or rude when I refuse their discriminatory
treatment. Tellinga place of public accommodation only tends to create
discriminatory behavior rather than avoid it as they seem to believe there
is something special they should do because we told them about our dogs.
Should an African American tell a place of public accommodation about their
race? What about a Muslim? If the characteristic is irrelevant, why create
an issue? JMHO!

Danielle,
No, you do not HAVE to tell greyhound you have a pup with you, however it is
considered nicer and more considerate to do so, but it is by no means
required. Most puppies can fit quite comfortably on those seats as I found
out a couple of months ago. 
as for the theater, no, you should not have to tell them you have a pup.
again, most pups can fit comfortably under most theater seats, so it should
not be a concern. 
and if the theater tries to make an excuse, feel free to let them know,
politely out course, that sece they are a public venue, then  by law, they
are required to let you have your dog there.  
Hope this helps! :)

Service at my university and they are going to go see a play in Cincinnati I
think. We are taking a Grey Hound and I was told they want to know
everything. The the coordinator of the event asked me if I could just leave
my dog which  I said no to. Then she said that they wouldhave  to let
Greyhound know that I was coming with a dog and alsothat and the theater
because apparently it's packed. I'm not comfortable with telling greyhound
and the theater because I do not want them to come up with some excuse to
put me where they want to put me.  I understand the space part but should I
allow them to let them know? I just want to know what is reasonable and what
is not. Any thoughts or suggestions?
