[NAGDU] A question.

[Cindy Ray]

Well, let's see. Since we don't know the whole situation, let's err on the side of watchfulness and see what unfolds rather than putting the individual under suspicion right away.

Hello.
i agree that we should not have any issues taking our guides into a pool area.  unless, the dog is misbehaving somehow.  if the dog is running around, disturbing others, getting into the pool, barking, whatever, then, the dog should not be allowed.  
there could be other issues here.  i certainly know many folks who have dogs that would misbehave in such a situation.  
i don’t mean to sound mean here.  but, we have our end to hold up as well.  perhaps we don’t know the whole situation here.
