For blind flier, dog is conspicuous navigator
A helpful American Airlines employee escorts the two of us down the Jetway for pre-boarding. Finding our seat, I quickly stow my bag and buckle in for the flight from San Francisco to Dallas.
Then a river of passengers streams onto the jet with laptops and rolling carry-ons -- and at least one parent with a child in tow. ``Look, Mom!'' she exclaims as she passes, no doubt noticing Rickles sitting at my feet.

I read this article today, and was very touched. As a member of Lions Clubs, I probably meet up with more assistance pets than the average person. However, this provides additional insite that I hope others will appreciate.
