[NAGDU] FW: [Njagdu] Blind Man With Guide Dog Denied Uber Ride, Stands Up For Rights

[Star Gazer]

			For those who don't know, I have a two-year-old. A
couple weeks ago, we were doing some grocery shopping and she peed all over
the place, through her diaper, through her pants, through the rungs of the
cart, and onto the floor. Nobody said anything negative about it, I just
told the cleanup crew and that was the end of that. Contrast that with a
guide dog having an accident... somebody someonewhere would have said
something mean. 
I do think that our (and at this point I'm not part of the our) dogs should
be well groomed and well behaved. I also think that the bar is set far
higher then it is for anybody else, mothers, old people who have trouble
with their bodily functions, children who get sick at the wrong time and
place... the list goes on.

I would disagree with your mentioning keeping the dogs groomed and so on, I
don't mean that I think we shouldn't groom our dogs--smile, I mean that if
ssomeone wants to deny us rights that are sanctioned by law, it's not really
up to us to proove how well-groomed our dogs are and so on...And like it or
not, our dogs will shed--smile.

Yours,
Dan

It seems certain areas have more issues; I don't know of anyone in the
Kansas City area being denied a Uber ride, though someone was charged for
detailing a Uber card due to hair.

I guess the best we can do is continue to advocate for our rights; keep our
dogs on the floor and keep them sell-groomed to cut down on the amount of
hair.
