From: Guidedogboard@dca.ca.gov<BR>Subject: Dog Attacks on Guide Dogs<BR>Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2010 12:51:30 -0700<BR><BR><BR><FONT face=Arial size=3>Dear Consumer Organizations:</FONT><FONT size=3> </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=3><BR><BR>The State Board of Guide Dogs for the Blind, in partnership with guide dog schools and law enforcement, would like to share a couple of helpful resources addressing dog attacks on guide dogs. Below is the link to the transcript , video, and photos of our February 24 press conference on dog attacks on guide dogs, held in San Francisco. Additionally, the Board has posted the Guide Dog Users Incorporated video on dog attacks. </FONT><FONT size=3> </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=3><BR><BR>We hope to provide outreach and education to three groups: 1) consumers - what to do in the case of a dog attack on your guide; 2) Law enforcement - how to respond to a call for a dog attack on a guide; and 3) the General public - what to do if witnessing a dog attack and how to interact with working teams. Should you have any questions or comments about this campaign, please feel free to contact me at guidedogboard@dca.ca.gov <BR><BR>Thank you.</FONT><FONT size=3> </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=3><BR><BR>http://www.guidedogboard.ca.gov/about/press_022410.shtml <BR><BR>http://www.guidedogboard.ca.gov/resources/index.shtml <BR><BR>Jeff Neidich</FONT><FONT size=3> </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=3><BR>President</FONT><FONT size=3> </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=3><BR>State Board of Guide Dogs for the Blind</FONT><FONT size=3> </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=3><BR>1625 N.
