Hi Richard,
I think this is a good idea.
I do maintain some information on Resources for blind people and those with low vision.
I have done this for many years.
On a different topic did you hear about the poor lady who was maled by those two dogs.
She was a Cat Lover. 
The lady from her office said she was an Animal lover and really loved cats.
Since she had 20 cats (a little over the top) I would say her love of cats was obvious.
I just see that happening to me.
At least I do not hate dogs any more.
I just think people should make use of the leash law and keep their dogs on their property.
I also think dog guides should be under control and not allowed to wander over to other people who do not want to be in close prximity with their dog.
I support everyone's right to have a dog guide but I also want the freedom to feel comfortable knowing that the dog guide is not in my space.
Richard give Clepatra, the cat, a nice pet from me.
Colleen Roth
