Traveling with Guide Dogs


A message from Tony Grime
VP/Braille Publications
National Braille Press

In her book "Sites Unseen: Traveling the World Without Sight," author Wendy David offers tips and advice for every type of travel - including special considerations for traveling with your guide dog. What are the rules, domestically and internationally, for guide dogs in hotels or inns? On buses or planes? How much food should you pack for the trip? Where should we look for doggie pit stops? How do you register a dog for travel to Hawaii?

Of course the books is chock full of advice and tip for travel unrelated to dogs, but I think "Sites Unseen" would be of special interest to your trainers and clients alike.

"Sites Unseen" is available in braille, eBraille, accessible PDF, Word, or DAISY (text-to-speech audio). (The PDF version of this book is fully accessible and hyperlink-enabled. This is our "green" alternative to offering a print version of the book. You can purchase this and print it out, or read it on your computer.) The cost is $19.95.
