Yes, that is the law in NY, not sure about elsewhere, but we were told that in puppy class. We were also told, however, not to be rude about it because we are all ambassadors. The law only applies to vested dogs, though. I don't know about if they don't have a vest. I would either ask your AC or contact the state government to see what Maine's rules are. It is such a touchy issue, but other than this, I don't believe I have ever had an access issue. Keep us posted on Nettie's arrival!
An optimistic meditation on puppy raising for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, and other adventures in chaos.
Murphy (Wella x Farrell), the first pup we raised, is a male black Lab who graduated in June 2007 and is working as a guide dog in Wyoming.
The second pup, Nettie (Quarry x Evan), a female yellow Lab, arrived in mid-February 2007 at 6 months old and stayed with us for a year. She graduated in August 2008 and is working as a guide dog in Kansas.
I'm a slightly harried wife, mother and journalist, with one understanding husband, two great kids, two cats and usually at least one Lab, managing controlled insanity at a place we call Chaos Hill.
