Hello all, I had heard of Eyes At My Feet, but neither of the other books that were suggested. I know just knowing that I have an amazing guide makes my life much richer. I have also heard, that in August, Thunder Dogs, by Michael Hingson will be available on Amazon. I can't wait to get a hold of that. Hope all are doing well on your first day back to work after a holiday weekend. Also I have really enjoyed being on this list, reconecting with old friends and making new ones. Take care all, and have a happy Tuesday.

> Department of Veterans Affairs VHA DIRECTIVE 2011-013
>
> Veterans Health Administration
>
> Washington, DC 20420 March 10, 2011
>
>
>
> GUIDE DOGS AND SERVICE DOGS ON VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (VHA) PROPERTY
>
>
>
>
> 1. PURPOSE: This Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Directive establishes
> policy
>
> regarding Veterans and members of the public who enter VHA facilities and
> properties
>
> accompanied by guide dogs (also known as seeing-eye dogs) and other service
> dogs. NOTE:
>
> This Directive only addresses guide dogs and other service dogs accessing
> VHA facilities and
>
> properties when acting in their capacity as a service animal performing
> guide and service duties
>
> for a disabled individual.
>
>
>
> 2. BACKGROUND
>
>
>
> a. Trained guide dogs and other trained service dogs can have a significant
> role in
>
> maintaining functionality and promoting maximal independence of individuals
> with disabilities.
>
> Individuals with disabilities are authorized to enter VHA facilities and
> property accompanied by
>
> their trained guide dog or trained service dog consistent with the same
> terms and conditions, and
>
> subject to the same regulations that govern the admission of the general
> public to the property.
>
>
>
> b. Therapy animals, companion animals, emotional support animals, and pets
> are not
>
> considered service animals, and their access to VHA facilities and
> properties are not covered by
>
> this Directive.
>
>
>
> c. Definitions
>
>
>
> (1) Disability. A disability is a physical or mental impairment that
> substantially limits one
>
> or more of the major life activities of the individual; a record of such an
> impairment; or being
>
> regarded as having such an impairment.
>
>
>
>
>
> (2) Guide Dog. A guide dog (also known as seeing-eye dogs) is a type of
> service animal
>
> that recognizes and avoids any obstacle that would harm the handler, keeps
> the handler on a
>
> straight route, and is able to selectively disobey commands that would lead
> to the handler's harm
>
> (e.g., crossing the street in the path of an on-coming car).
>
>
>
> (3) Service Dog. A service dog is one that is specially trained to do work
> or perform tasks
>
> for the benefit of an individual with a disability who cannot perform the
> work or task
>
> independent of the dog. The work or tasks performed by the service animal
> must be directly
>
> related to the individual's disability, and the service provided by the dog
> must compensate or
>
> offset the disability that substantially limits one or more of the major
> life activities of the
>
> individual. NOTE: This does not include service dogs in training.
>
>
>
> 3. POLICY: It is VHA policy to permit guide dogs (seeing-eye dogs) and other
> service dogs to
>
> accompany individuals with a disability to all areas of a VHA facility and
> property on the same
>
> terms and conditions, and subject to the same regulations, as generally
> govern the admission of
>
> the public to the property while maintaining a safe environment for
> patients, employees, visitors,
>
> and the service dog.
>
>
>
> 4. ACTION
>
>
>
> a. The Chief Officer, Readjustment Counseling Service (RCS). The Chief
> Officer, RCS,
>
> is responsible for ensuring all RCS Vet Center staff are aware of, and
> comply with, this
>
> Directive.
>
>
>
> b. Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISN) Director. Each VISN Director
> is
>
> responsible for ensuring that VISN facilities have a written policy on guide
> dogs and service
>
> dogs that conforms to this Directive no later than June 30, 2011.
>
>
>
> c. Facility Director. Each Facility Director, or designee, in accordance
> with Title 38 Code
>
> of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 1.218(a) (11), has the authority to
> make determinations
>
> regarding the entry of dogs into VHA facilities or on VHA property. The
> Facility Director is
>
> responsible for ensuring, that no later than June 30, 2011, there is a
> written published policy that
>
> directly and specifically addresses trained guide dogs and service dogs
> accompanying
>
> individuals with disabilities entering VHA facilities. This policy is to
> include, but is not limited
>
> to:
>
>
>
> (1) The dog is not permitted to run free or roam in VHA buildings or on VHA
> property.
>
>
>
> (2) The dog must be in a guiding harness, or on a leash, and under control
> at all times while
