Hi, All:

It has been interesting and educational to read these messages. I have
not had my guide dog long and have not really experienced anything
like thiss, except for one time in which I was denied entry into an
event because of my dog; this was upsetting, but I was able to speak
with the manager and was allowed in with many apologies. I have no
doubt that I will experience many similar situations that not be as
easily solved.

I don't want to restate what has already been said. Some of you
mentioned, however, that even if the person being denied access is
calm and professional, they may be accused of being angry and hostile.
Do you think that recording these conversations would possibly make
solving the discrimination problems easier? This way, you would
actually have proof of what actually took place to show the supervisor
or the police...

Cheers!
