[nagdu] Guide Dog as Therapy Dog

[Dan Weiner]

First of all, I totally support your efforts and think you are a wonderful
person to want to volunteer and give back to the community.
So, don't take what I'm going to say as a criticism of you by any means.
The fact is they don't want you...they aren't going to forgive you for being
blind and they have an attitude problem.
So, as you proceed keep that in mind.

I don't actually know what can be done to get them to reexamine their
abysmal attitude.
And of course the kids would benefit from your help and Doddy's
participation.

I'm interested to know what ideas other people have because I've had that
experience where volunteer organizations baulk at a blind participant and
I've never been sure how to proceed Other than education and speaking to the
people on the highest level.
Yours,
Dan W,.
