if you don't accept a challenge then surely you are not helping to pave the way
for access for guide dogs.

Hello Jackie
I’ve never needed to fly with my dog and when on holiday, one of my friends
will look after her and I rely on my sighted husband to sighted guide. Mostly
this suits us well, but there are times when I miss the freedom of being able
to go where I want when I want. My long cane skills are very basic and I feel
very self-conscious using one (probably because they are so basic – smile)!
Locally, I know the cafes which welcome (rather than tolerate) my dog so
prefer to spend my money there and if I am planning to meet a friend in an
unfamiliar restaurant, it just seems to work better for me to call beforehand
rather than spoil the experience by being challenged.
