[NAGDU] Using Rolling Suitcase with Guide Dog

[Bryan Gearry]

I drag the grocery cart off to the side of me with my right hand. I grab 
the front left hand corner of the cart and pull it while hanging on to 
the dog harness with my left hand. Yes, I'm a little wide going through 
the store isles, but it is manageable. Have to make sure that you swing 
wide when when turning however. I also cam up with a hook and a handle 
that I attach to the grocery cart so I pull the hook....if I remember to 
bring it.  Bryan
