Seeing Eye requires that a person pay a token amount for getting a dog. In
cases of economic need that amount can be paid for over a long period. The
money never figured into any of my story. I have been with dogs from
Seeing Eye for over thirty years now.
Laws are usually the last resort in cases of social and economic
discrimination involving dogs and blind people. It is the same as in
discrimination in general. The society is what we live in day to day and
it is in everyday life people are successful. The laws are usually behind
what is going on in the culture in my experience. For example, there are
lots of laws about cab drivers not being allowed to pass blind pedestrians
with dogs but it happens all the time.

As with E.'s experience, this occurred before we had all of these laws protecting us and our dogs. He did have to pay for replacement of the dog thoough. Her parents saw to that. He had to pay for her next dog.

Yes--how cruel kids can be, nd thoughtless, and how thoughtless even adults can be, as in your friend's case. I find it hard to believe--but then...well, what I was going to say was political, and this is not the place to express those opinions.
It seems to me that the school superintendent violated the People With Disabilities Act, or whatever it's called, or was that before it was passed. Did her parents sue for the loss of the dog--and punitive damages to teach him a lesson?
