Dear Mr. and Mrs. DiCola,

Thank you for contacting me regarding Senate bill 1907.  I appreciate
your taking the time to inform me of your support for this legislation.


As you know, S-1907 establishes criminal penalties for killing, injuring
or interfering with a guide dog and is designated as "Dusty's Law".  It
is currently in the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee.  As the
primary sponsor of this legislation, I will continue to do all that I
can to advocate for its passage.  

I welcome your continued input on matters of interest and concern to
you.  Please do not hesitate to contact me about this or any other
issue.

Sincerely,
Tony Bucco

Please pass Dusty's Law and I would like to thank you for supporting the
law.  I know several blind handlers who have been approached by a loose
dog.  When a loose dog interferes with a service dog it causes an unsafe
situation for the handler and for the service dog. I know besides the
physical concerns and injuries there is also a large emotional
component.
I know you have personally seen my Seeing Eye Puppies @ public functions
and around town. My family has been with the program since 1997.  I know
we have talked about all the work involved with training these dogs. I
remember we had breakfast during a Boonton Pancake Rotary Breakfast.  It
is a shame if a dog is too scared to do his job and it is horrible when
a handler or dog gets physically attacked by a loose or uncontrolled
dog.  I know a lot of blind people who are more afraid of encountering a
loose or uncontrolled dog than they are of being hit by a car. I, myself
always carry my cell phone with me in case I need to call for help while
I am walking.  I am also concerned a loose dog could get hit by a car.
Thank you so much for your support.  Bonnie Lee DiCola RN MS Seeing Eye
