I have been listening to this thread all along.  I was a cane user before 
I started getting dogs. The reason I got a dog was I thought it might 
keep me from walking so crooked.  Also the dog is a very good protector 
especially here in Chicago.  You would be suprised, maybe not, the people 
that will run a mile to get away fro Heather and me.  If I don't have a 
job by the time it comes to get another dog I might not get another one. 
I'm tired of people not watching where they are steping when they get on 
the bus.  There is always another passenger who sounds like a broken 
record saying"watch the dog."  The reason I sit on the side seat near the 
driver is the stops are not being called enough, and if you aren't on 
your toes you will miss the stop al together.
