My colleague Bonita Thomson asked me to comment on your enquiry re: Guide Dogs
abroad.
This is currently a very topical subject which was covered at some length on "In
Touch" the other night. Several groups including the European Guide Dog
Mobility Group or some such name are campaigning with RNIB to get some
relaxation to the current quarantine laws. It seems that a pilot might be tried
which would be open to GDO's of which I am one, to visit European destinations
if on business or educational travel rather than just holidays. Your best bet
is to contact Peter Barker awho is the Manager of the joint RNIB/GDBA Mobility
Unit who will be able to give you more info. He can be contacted on 0171 388
1266.
Good luck
