This is the link ABC NEWS to a news story regarding a Taxi Company in Adelaide who refused entry to a taxi due to a guide dog.

Yet again this amazes me as I was under the impression that Guide Dogs have the legal right to go virtually anywhere apart from a Kitchen. The Taxi company even offered him $27000 to withdraw the complaint and go away.

This is discrimination and really should be stamped out.

I just found a report i tend to find rather offensive in some ways. It suggests that Muslim Taxi Drivers will refuse entry to a Taxi for a Disabled or Vision Impaired person when they have a Guide Dog or Assistance Dog.

I find this to be extremely short sighted by these taxi drivers as their religious belief states that animals are Unclean. Every single Guide Dog i have ever met has been the most clean and well looked after animals around.

What amazes me is that these people certainly wouldn't stop and think twice about refusing a guide dog for their own needs if it ever arose but they will not allow a dog into the car???

Guide Dog open day - it was wonderful to see the support for this wonderful organization. To be able to attend and learn first hand how these wonderful people and dogs work together to be able to attain the standard that enables "Guide Dogs" to give mobility to the V.I. person was truely incredable.
We were amazed at the number in attendance. The whole place was a buzz with not only puppies and dogs in training but also many people attended with their working dogs along with retired and breeding dogs.

Been a few days since i posted anything. There has been quite a few small things that have happened in this time so i thought i would put them together into one.

Caitlyn's mum received a call from RIDBC on friday getting us to start and prepare for a Webcam chat some time this week. Needless to say now i have to make sure the webcam works (plugging it in certainly helps)
