[NAGDU] It's all Greek to me

[Dan Weiner]

Thank you so much I definitely will write to her and so glad you know how to
get in touch with her, I did some looking on the net (I've been researching
travel in other countries with guide dogs for years and years because I like
the subject) and I ssaw the name but didn't know how to find her.

Take care an d be good.

Dan

Dan,

If you're interested in knowing "the do and don't" in Greece when it comes
to guide dogs, I would send an e-mail to Ioanna-Maria Gertsou,
ioanna at laraguidedogs.gr, who's the first guide dog handler in Greece and the
founder of the first guide dog school, Lara Guide Dogs.

Good luck!
