[nagdu] Uber sued for allegedly refusing rides to the blind andputting a dog in the trunk

[Star Gazer]

			After a post like this, he/she sure will. 
Maybe there was a medical issue going on, many people leaving hospitals
after out patient procedures are told not to drive, and it's usually due to
drugs they've been given. 
The person may have been going someplace and was experiencing severe stress.

Be glad none of you have ever made the news in a negative way and be even
more glad that the newspaper articles haven't been posted to this list.

Fatmir,
congrats and good luck with your guide dog Intro week. How does that work?

Wow! I do nnow of people putting pet dogs in the trunk for travel and these
have been outside dogs but I would *never* allow someone especially a
stranger to take my dog from me. How did this happen?
Owner and working pup should be attached at all times!
I bet that person wishes to remain anonymous!

Danielle
P.S. How do you contact Uber?
