[NAGDU] Do you have a cane when walking with a guide dog?

[Tracy Carcione]

I have one of those little emergency or ID canes.  It's about 4 feet long, and folds up to a length smaller than my hand, maybe 5 inches.  It's very short, but would do in a pinch, and is really small to carry around.

Independent Living Aids sells what they call an emergency cane.  It does not have a reusable tip, but is very light-wait.  It's not very long, not sure of length.  NFB independence market also sells telescoping canes.  They used to have a mini-cane, but I think they got rid of that one.  HTH.

I think Melissa and several others mentioned the use of a cane in 
Europe, and Melissa mentioned that it was a telescoping ID type cane, 
anyone have any idea how oto get one like this, I don't care where or 
how I have to get it?
