Subject: [BlindLDS] Guide Dogs And Temples Revisited

Hello, Friends!

I will be getting my first guide dog next month, and I have a pretty major concern.

I know that guide dogs are not allowed inside temples, and I have to say that I definitely agree with this rule. I am concerned, though, about leaving my dog with someone as often as I will be going to the Temple.

At this point in my life, I attend the temple once a month, but if I have the opportunity to go twice in one month, I take it. Because the Temple is about 1.5 hours from my home by car and about twice that long by train, my trips tend to take about six hours at the least. This is a long time to leave a guide dog with someone, especially a new guide dog. Eventually, when I can take the time to do it, I want to start working in the Temple, which would require me to go more often and for longer periods of time.

What have those of you with guide dogs done in this situation?

Thank you,

Rachel
