Assistance Dog * UK - Yes, my hearing dog is allowed on the buses
Wiltshire,UK -This is Wiltshire, by James Wallin -7 March 2009: -- Deafness is a “hidden disability” in Swindon, according to one woman who is sick and tired of the ignorance surrounding her condition... Janice Adams, of Grange Park, is fed up with bus drivers challenging her right to bring her hearing dog, Kola, on the bus free of charge... Despite seven-year-old Kola sporting a coat that clearly states she is a registered assistance dog, bus drivers routinely question Mrs Adams’s rights... Paul Jenkins, managing director of Thamesdown Transport, said: “All I can do is apologise and if Mrs Adams can let me know who the driver was I can make sure it is investigated... “Assistance dogs for the blind, deaf and disabled, if they are properly identified should travel free of charge and I would expect drivers to know that.”...
