Vermont's state legislature is considering a bill that would go an extra yard in protecting guide dogs. Any owner of unrestrained dogs that attack a guide dog would be punishable by a year in prison.
The special abilities and uses of guide dogs must be protected. Visually-impaired people rely on guide dogs to leave their homes and to stay mobile. When guide dogs are attacked, a visually-impaired owner is left vulnerable. Furthermore, these attacks can traumatize guide dogs to the point that they can no longer lead their owners.
