A while ago and for the first time in #Greece., We reached a conviction against a professional taxi driver who refused to board a blind girl because of the driver dog he was handling, even using violence against the trained Labrador.
After the exemplary crisis of Justice, the need for social dialogue for the #Inclusion and #Accessibility of blind handler dogs is as visible as the daily struggle of the disabled citizens of this country for the obvious!
