Hi everyone,<br><br>Apparently, some people who use service animals and emotional support animals are planning on starting a group in NYC to advocate in the interest of people who use such animals (see below). Those of you who use guide dogs might be interested in getting involved. Don't forget that there is also a Guide Dog User Division of the NFB. If you would like to contact information for that division here in New York, please let me know. <br>
