Mark Ahh, I know of an incident where they did discriminate! A very good friend of mine, who has a guide dog and who, at that time, was on the California state guide dog board, was ordered and I mean ordered to muzzle her dog before getting on the bus; she consequently refused by saying that hampers the dog's performance. This little entanglement resulted in her blocking the door of the bus and an eventual law suite against Gray Hound. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!102!1303!Steve.Holmes Internet: Steve.Holmes@f1303.n102.z1.fidonet.org
