Currently, the Board has best practices for first responders responding to dog attacks on guide dogs. We will be working in the future on best practices for guide dog teams in a hospital setting. In the interim, I have cc’d some of our consumer stakeholders to provide some assistance in the interim. Please let me know if you have been provided the information you need. Take care and thank you for contacting the Board.</SPAN></P>
