[NAGDU] An interesting question

[Steven Johnson]

Agree with Wayne, need to make it broad enough to protect those same dogs that are covered under the ADA so that would be service dogs, or if Iowa has not updated their law to the current definition of ADA titles II and III, than Service Animals which ever specifically denotes task-trained dogs/animals.

As a Service Dog Owner,  I would say that the legislation should be amended to stare Service Dog,  rather than Guide Dog. All Guide Dogs are Service Dogs,  but not all Service Dogs are Guide Dogs. As written, it would be discriminatory due to leaving out other Service Modalities. Yours, Very Sincerely And Respectfully,

Subject: [NAGDU] An interesting question 

A young high school girl, Allie Tubbsz,  has written this request for information. She has come to be extremely interested in the blind, having researched the NFB and it's movement from 1940 to now, and specifically Dr.
tenBroek. She wrote a drama and performed it, winning several awards for it, and she performed it at our state convention last fall. Here is her
question:

 

For my advanced English class we have to write our opinion on a bill that is going through the Iowa Legislature. The bill I chose was whether dog owners whose dogs attack guide dogs should be charged with a criminal offense. I was wondering what your and the NFB's position is on this matter?

Thank you so much!
