[nagdu] off leash dogs

Thu May 7 16:51:59 UTC 2015

I only run into that sort of thing in the hood. But, I once ran into a
claimed ptsd dog. The thing barked so much that I suspect he caused it
rather than helped it!

I have heard that this is the number one reason that guides need to be
retired early.  Dog attacks are happening way to frequently.
I have also run into the same thing in a grocery store.  A woman had a
little yapper in her shopping cart.  It kept barking at me.
I was with a store employee who was helping me shop and, I told him that was
not a service dog that it should not be in the store.  I also told the
cashier. They did not seem to care at all.
