[Travelandtourism] FW: [Nfbnet-members-list] Article about guide dogs in Zoos

[Cheryl Echevarria]

I am posting this to this list.

 

Why, because when we travel, we visiting interesting places, and some are
zoos and aquariums.

 

As you are well aware, that we have NAGDU, which is the National Association
of Guide Dog Users. President Mr. Marion Gwizdala lives in FL and this past
weekend, the NFB of Florida had their state convention.

 

Being a member of NAGDU myself, and also a Board Member of the New York
Affiliate, NYAGDU. It is important for all blind people, whether you use a
cane or a guide dog. That you should be able to travel with whatever
mobility tool you have to want to  use and be able to do that without having
issues.

 

Especially here in the USA.

 

There will be places around the world, that you may not be able to bring
your dog to, or a place at that destination as well. 

 

But if you do your homework, and plan ahead of time, you should not have any
problems when you are traveling.

 

Enjoy! Live the Life You Want!

 

Way to dog NAGDU!

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
