[NAGDU] working a new guide dog, Rosy

[Gabriel Moloney]

hi 
first of all congratulations on new dog, I would just like to respond to the post from the last person on this thread, I feel it would be better if Medical and Emotional support dogs were to wear vests or harnesses at least this would e some form of ID to state this fact, yes I know this stuff can be purchased on line, but hopefully if laws were to change for ESA it would make our lives a bit better for us as a working team.
Just my 25cent worth of thoughts on this.
regards
Gabriel

I'm sorry that your first dog had to retire due to a dog attack, but just because the dog was not wearing a vest or a harness doesn't mean that the dog wasn't a service dog. Many of my friends who have medical service dogs or psychiatric service dogs do include vests, however it is not mandatory under any state or federal or provincial legislation. I understand that you are nervous, but just because the dog was there and didn't have a vest or a harness didn't mean the dog was not a service dog. I hope you continue working well with Rosie!
