Episode 225 - Guide Dog Access Rights

This week is White Cane Week, and in this episode we are doing something special as Shawn is joined by co‑hosts Keisha and Jill for an open and honest conversation about Guide Dog access. Together, they explore the differences between Guide Dogs, Service Dogs, and Emotional Support Animals, what the law says versus what actually happens in real life, and how it truly feels to be denied access. Through candid personal stories and powerful advocacy, this episode shines a light on the everyday realities Guide Dog users face and why meaningful change is still needed.
