What Rideshare Drivers Need to Know About Guide Dogs
Detailed Poster Description
This artistically designed poster guides the viewer's eye through a series of photos and text boxes that tell a story in a fun, easy to follow sequence. These visual elements are connected by the outline of a large gray traditional-style steering wheel that appears in the background. A faint image of a road map underlying the entire design adds to the driving theme.
Colors & Images
The title of the poster is What Rideshare Drivers Need to Know About Guide Dogs. It appears at the top of the page in large dark green letters with an orange shadow effect to give the letters a three-dimensional look. Beneath the title, seven photos of guide dog teams are effectively positioned in a manner that balances the appearance of the page and easily connects the reader with the accompanying text. Each photo is framed in a dark green circular border in a way that simulates a three-dimensional look.
Photos and Text
Each photo is accompanied by a text box containing a brief statement from the dog as follows:
Text Box 1: I’m a guide dog, otherwise known as a service animal.
Photo Description: A close-up profile of a yellow Lab wearing a leather harness and looking towards the viewer. Parts of a man’s leg, arm, and hand holding the handle of the harness are visible.
Text Box 2: My job is to guide a blind person.
Photo Description: A young woman with long dark hair being guided down the sidewalk near an apartment complex by a Lab/Golden Retriever Cross. The team is walking directly towards the viewer.
Text Box 3: See my special harness with a long handle
Photo Description: A woman with long blond hair waiting for a ride with her chocolate Lab guide dog. She is checking her smart phone while the dog is looking up at her. The dog’s harness is clearly visible.
Text Box 4: I’m kept clean and brushed.
Photo Description: A close-up of a Golden Retriever sitting outdoors on the grass getting brushed. Parts of a woman’s leg, arm, and hand holding a wooden pin brush are visible. The dog is looking directly at the viewer.
Text Box 5: I’m trained to be calm and ride on the floor.
Photo Description: A small black Lab with a shiny coat is lying on the floor of a vehicle with its head resting on a woman’s boot. Only the lower portion of the person is visible while the dog is calmly looking up at the viewer.
Text Box 6: Just ask if you want my head kept away from you.
Photo Description: An older man sitting behind the passenger seat is smiling down at his yellow Lab and gently resting his hands on either side of the guide dog’s neck. The dog is sitting on the floor and looking up at the man.
Text Box 7: Thanks for the ride!
Photo Description: A woman with dark blond hair stepping out of a vehicle while her German Shepherd guide dog waits to exit. The large dog is patiently sitting on the floor and looking directly out at the viewer.
Final Details
At the bottom center of the page, a yellow diamond-shaped road sign with a black border says “Warning: Federal law and rideshare policies require all drivers to accept service animals.” On the bottom left, the Pine Tree Guide Dog Users logo is visible; and the QR code and PineTreeGuideDogUsers.org are located on the bottom right.

There are several different sizes of the following. For us as passengers, there is a postcard size. Any print store can print these up nicely. Maybe we need to arm ourselves with some postcards. There are also poster sizes. I hope many ACB members will get on board with handing these out even if you are not a guide dog handeler. These would be good to share with others as well to handout to drivers. Margie

Margie,
Thanks so much for this! I will certainly circulate this. Does anyone on this list know someone who can translate this into Arabic? Getting these posters into the hands of Muslim leaders might be very helpful.
A friend said that her Imam told her that my Guide, Pattie, was a special gift from Allah, and that service animals should be revered and welcome in her home. Sadly, she and her family are no longer here, so she cannot translate this for us. Unfortunately, I neither know the name of the Imam, nor how to reach him.
Again, thanks so much for providing this.
Best Wishes,
Suzanne Erb
