[nagdu] close call

[Sheila Leigland]

I really don't care what kind of dog people have as long as dogs are 
under control. I don't like breed specific legislation because dogs 
aren't responsible for the way they are trained people are. We need to 
be careful around other dogs with our guides and I hrefuse to live in 
fear of a dog attack that may and hopefully never happen. You don't have 
to be able to see to undersand what is going on around you.
