[nagdu] Tie-Downs for our Guides on Access Shuttles

[Cindy Ray]

I’m guessing you could have them show you and you would soon be good at it. I guess I would have mixed feelings about it.

You hook a shorter leash in a ring and then the other end gets snapped down where they tie down the wheelchairs.  I really do not like this idea of her being tied down at all.  She is behaved enough not to move around.  I What if we get in an accident, and I cannot get my dog loose.  Maybe they are trying to do a good thing, and maybe I do not understand fully.  Let Becky and I know what you think.
