So, I brought home my first Seeing Eye dog about three weeks ago. I'm still in highschool, and now they're trying to say that I can't bring her. Can they really do that? I don't think they can. Rrhrhrhhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhhrhrhrhroarhhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhhrhrhrhrehhrhrhrhrhrhhrehrhrhrhrhrhhrehehrhrhrhrhhrhrhrhrhehrhrhrhrhrhrhahrhhrhrhrhrhrh!!!
no
, but congrats on the guide dog.
definately not that is open discrimination kick them into touch..
Oh, I'm gonna if they need kicking, they'll surely be kicked... hard.
Glad to hear it ..go on yoursel!
Just to let you all know, my dog is now allowed at school, so don't were, not that you probably were! lol
glad the issue was resolved!!!!! Sadly lack of knolege about service animals is still in existance. Again glad it's all worked out! :-)
Bashful have you considered giving a talk about the role of a guide dog, to the numpties who tried to ban your dog,it would put them in the picture and educate others..
Yeah, I think I have to do that fairly soon. I'm not sure when yet, but they want me to go talk to all these people and educate them now.
Personally, i don't think that High school students should be allowed to have guide dogs, not that your mature enough to handle it Bashfull, some are not like you.
They said that I was an exception and that I handled my dog better than some of the retrains, but yes, I agree that not everyone should be allowed to bring a dog into a high school setting. I have been researching the best way to approach it for 5 years now, so I think I can handle it.
N", they can't refuse you...you're dog is allowed everywhere you go. The only place that has a right to refuse you is someone's private residence, but she is allowed in all public places. If the school persists in giving you trouble, bring the authorities &/or the media into it. That'll shut them up pretty quick.
I'm gonna try and get a guide dog too. This next summer, if I'm accepted. And I'll be a jnior and senior in high school and have it, if I get one. I feel ready to handle it, so I hope the school agrees.
