[nagdu] guide dogs and emergency transportation

[Applebutter Hill]

This is related but not quite the same. My hubby needed to be transported in
ambulances several times a couple of years ago. The first time, I called a
neighbor to take Hunter to the hospital to meet us so I could go in the
ambulance with Rich. I just didn't want to get into it at the time. The
second time, I asked to go with them with Hunter and they had us sit up
front. The third time, they let me and Hunter in the back. Everyone was
really nice about it. I do wonder like you, though, what would happen if my
dog and I were both injured.

Hi there,

A question out of curiosity, as some of you may have seen a guide dog saved
his handler in new York yesterday and that has brought up a couple of
questions and when I asked my affiliate president, he suggested I ask here.

1.        Were I injured and the dog not seriously so, could he ride with
me?

2.       Were the both of us injured, since police dogs can be treated at a
hospital if need-be, do guide dogs qualify there too?

3.       If he was hurt and couldn't go with me, who would transport him to
the vet?  Maybe that is just a kindness of strangers sort of thing?



Have any of you dealt with this situation, God forbid, could you give some
insights or information?





Thank you kindly,

Nancy VanderBrink
