I agree with that and, additionally, I'm not ashamed of being blind
either. As long as I always dress as smartly as I can and act in a
respectable and responsible way when I am out, the fact I use a cane as
opposed to a dog makes no odds. (smile).

Hi Eleanor.. Don't take this the wrong way as we're all in the same
predicament. You would look just as blind weather you had a guide dog or
a
cane. Its how confident you come across will impress the public and they
might just forget you are visually impaired smiles.
