Guide Dogs are wonderful mobility aids. They allow their partners to travel independently and move gracefully and safely through crowds and across streets. People's reactions to the dogs vary—from wanting to pet, feed, or interact with them, to believing dogs should not be allowed in public places. Both attitudes need to be addressed as they connote a lack of understanding of the nature and purpose of a Guide Dog. Below are some helpful tips for when you deal with dog partners.
