Oh, wow, Cheryl, that's great.  I didn't think of doing that so am glad you 
thought of it.

>> Hi, everyone.  Well, we're not being quiet now.  You haven't heard from 
>> me because there hasn't been much movement yet nationally or from our 
>> part of the counry, but, that's changing.
>>
>> first of all, the national Hotline for guide dog users will be rolled out 
>> July 3 at National convention.  At some point after that, volunteers will 
>> be screened and trained to take calls on the Hotline. there will be 
>> automated information options as well.  More on that when I know more.
>>
>> Now, for closer to home:  On Saturday, Chris Lashom and her Fidelco Guide 
>> dog, Extra, were walking home in Liverpool, new York, and Extra was 
>> attacked.  Here is the message I posted on the Nagdu list plus the link 
>> to the newspaper article which came out in today's Syracuse Post 
>> Standard.

>> Hello, everyone.
>>
>> A fidelco guide dog was attacked by a German shepherd last Saturday in 
>> liverpool, new York.  As president of the New York Association of Guide 
>> Dog Users, I have been working with the handler to get this resolved. 
>> her dog was not badly injured and was shaken up but seems to be working 
>> all right and doing quite well.  fidelco is working with christ and 
>> Extra. Lucy cox, a member of our division and also vice president of the 
>> Syracuse chapter, is working alongside us as well.  Below is a newspaper 
>> article in today's Syracuse paper.  it's quite accurate.  I wish the 
>> reporter had added things that I said to what she said I said but it's 
>> quite accurate. I wish I had quoted the price of raising and training a 
>> guide dog as a lot higher, but, oh, well.
>>
>> Oh, another  thing.  the copy of the service animal attack law that was 
>> delivered to the Liverpool Police Department and to the town of Salina 
>> dog Warden was the wrong one and that law is referred to in the article, 
>> but, the correct version--the more recent law--has been delivered which 
>> is a lot stronger than just ticketing the owner.
