[nagdu] process of getting a guide dog from leader dog

Thu Aug 20 23:33:49 UTC 2015

Hi,
when leader dog was out at my apartment, I had told them about taking the 
bus.
They said that they could drive me to the bus stop.
There were several bus stops.
I didn't know what bus stop the city bus drops off at.
My route was from my apartment building, to Quality Dairy.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
John Sanders

Hi John,
Rox has a good point.  If you can define the route you would take to the
bus stop and explain where the bus could take you and what potentially
you could do at one of those stops.  I do not see how Leader Dogs should
not count that as a third route.
