[NAGDU] Apartment Complex- Picking up poop

[Caitlyn Furness]

I think if they are DNA testing all dogs in the place, then the guide dog should also be tested.

I also agree that handlers should pick up.

The conversation developed and one participant stated that guide dog handlers weren't required to pick up poop. I emailed NAGDU and got the response that some communities have ordinances that don't require guide dog handlers to pick up the poop but since we as blind individuals are trying to get our society to treat us as equal and full participants, we should pick up our dogs poop. I totally agree. What do you all think about the Fecal DNA test? I left a voicemail for the hotline but just was curious what you all thought.
