GUIDE DOG OWNERS AND FRIENDS ASSOCIATION
I have been concerned for some time of legislation which is being passed without any consultation whatsoever with our organisation. As some people may remember, I was the one that fought hard and succeeded in getting legislation passed for dog guides to go into any place and on all forms of public transport. This legislation was passed in 1957 but now it has been made more or less obsolete as dog guides have to compete with companion dogs, hearing dogs, assistance dogs and puppies being walked by people rearing them for future dog guides. -

Introduction
<p><span style="font-size: 13.008px;">From the moment we wake up, until the moment we go to sleep, our daily lives are a kaleidoscope of customer interactions.</span></p> <p>As soon as we open our eyes, we see reminders of previous customer moments: the bedroom furniture we once chose, our clothes and our breakfast options. And as we open our front door, we step into a whole new set. We check our phones, we buy our coffee,</p> <p>we visit the gym, we catch the bus, or ferry or train, we surf the net…. And when we return home to collapse in front of the TV, we engage in a whole lot more.</p> -
