I write to you as President of the New Jersey association of Guide Dog Users, the largest organized group of Guide Dog Users in New Jersey. The majority of our members have had at least one incident of attack while working with our canine partners. On December 6, 2012, I gave my testimony and presented copies from a number of other members to the NJ Senate Law and Public Safety Committee at their first hearing of Senate S1907, Dusty’s Law. I will attach my and another gentleman’s, who is a member, testimonies as examples. I had handed a fax testimony and had a group of the members directly email Senator Bucco their testimonies if these would be available as a resource should the total group of testimonies not have been presented to your committee through the Senate as indicated to me. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>While I live in Old Bridge, I have traveled very much throughout our fine Garden State. I worked for many years in downtown NYC going through Journal Square on a daily basis until my employer, JPM Chase opened offices in the Newport facility. As I am now retired, I frequent New Brunswick, Newark, Morristown, Atlantic City, Cape May and Vineland to indicate some of the areas I and other guide dog users live in or travel to. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>I and my fellow members of the NJ Association of Guide Dog Users thank you for scheduling the Thursday, December 12, 2013 hearing of A4105. We sincerely believe the committee and the full Assembly will understand the importance of Dusty’s Law and the vulnerable position we, the Guide Dog Users in New Jersey feel we are in without this. Calling our local police departments and finding out there is nothing they can do today to assist us with one of these episodes is heartbreaking.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Vincent G Chaney Jr<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>732-251-8650<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>President, NFBNJ New Jersey Association of Guide Dog Users<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p></div></div></blockquote><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal><Dusty's Law Testimony.doc><o:p></o:p></p></div></blockquote><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal><letter supporting s1907.
