BS'D

I'm glad that my information was to any help to you Dan! I met Ioanna-Maria Gertsou last year at the 2015 Annual Conference of the European Guide Dog Federation and she was really nice.

I only want to inform you all about the European Guide Dog Federation, they're working for the right of guide dog handlers in Europe and if you've any questions about a specific European country, I think that they'd be glad to assist you. I mean, if I'm not around to help you! *Wink, wink!*
