[nagdu] Guide dogs and haunted houses

[Cindy Ray]

Well, I have never done it, and I probably never would. I have come to be
very cautious about things such as this since the time I took that dog to a
concert where they fired off a Powitzer at the end of 1812 Overture. I
thought she was a calm, laid back dog, but I had misjudged who she was at a
time like that. I would have more fun going without my dog, but I will be
interested to hear what you think afterwards. Maybe I'm just over cautious.

Has anyone taken their guide dog to a haunted house or through a haunted
playspace before? What was your experience?

Tonight, I am taking the Golden Guy through a haunted house, and I think it
will be his first time. I will take his harness off and carry it with me, as
I expect him to get excited by a lot of the sudden noises, movements, and
antics.

When I was in college, the school did an annual haunted hallways, where they
turned a 3-story dorm into a haunted house with a theme such as insane
asylum, abandoned factory, etc. When I went through that, I also walked with
the Golden Guy out of harness. He was very excited by the shrill screaming,
people slamming and banging on doors, people lying or crawling on the floor,
etc. I did not let him interact with the people, even though he definitely
wanted to investigate the people lying on the floor, and jump up on the
woman running down the hall screaming. It was very funny, and an opportunity
for him to enjoy the event.

What are others' experiences?
