[nagdu] How to Take Your Pet Everywhere

[Cindy Ray]

If I were running a meeting and someone had a dog there that was
misbehaving, I believe I would ask them to remove the dog from the premises
or to find a way really quickly to get that dog under control.

I think that this is a very awkward issue.  In a former life (no, not
reincarnation), but before NFB days, I was president of a guide dog user
group.  There was a woman who had a service dog, not a guide.  Her dog was
very ill-behaved, barking at people, growling, and being a regular nuisance.
A woman came to a meeting where the other woman was with her service dog.
The little dog misbehaved, and the other woman was quite incensed, asking me
why I didn't kick her out.  I told her that it was not my place to do so.
We had to go through a whole email discussion about this, and I never did
convince her that I was correct.  She said that NFB would have kicked her
out.  I told her that the hotel had the authority to ask that the dog be
removed, but I did not.  It left a very sour taste in my mouth.  I did not,
and do not want to be the Enforcer.  If I have to be then I certainly will
do it, but it's not my place to do that just because I may 
be president.  But what say you?    Peace,    Debby and Neena
