First of all, it would continue to end the myth that the Nfb is against dogs. Secondly, it is an opportunity for people to buy several things for several different reasons from the same one stop shopping place. The question is do people want things and if they do, what would they like to see Carried. We aren’t all going to use the same things , nor will we feel like shopping at the same location.
> we aren’t all going to buy from there or from Julie  Johnson or any other place. I personally would not like a pouch big enough to carry too many items in on my dog harness. I need my hand on it, and it feels like extra baggage. I can’t imagine something big enough to carry water, but I think that’s too much to ask of the dog.. I think it’s a valid question, and I think this discussion is a very good one. Cindy Lou Ray, Moderator, Cindy Lou Ray Sent from my iPhone

>> Good afternoon, I am pretty sure a lot of you are aware, but you do know that Julie Johnson, with on the go guide and service dog gear provides almost all of these things that have been suggested? As far as the backpack for the dog to carry! That’s kind of hard when they’re wearing a harness. I carry a big enough backpack that I can carry for both of us. too much water and that backpack is going to be more than that dog can handle plus it’s harness and guide you safely. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for me to carry my dogs items!
