Dr Francis Seow-Choen, Chairman of the Guide Dogs Association of the Blind, said businesses’ concerns include the fear that giving guide dogs entry is against government regulations, that the dogs may offend Muslim customers, or that the animals may urinate or defecate on the premises. He gave the assurance that guide dogs are well-disciplined. “They pee or poop only on command. They are trained not to bark, and not to be distracted by other humans, cats, rats or small animals. They also don’t go around sniffing people.” He added that public education on guide dogs needs to be ramped up, as there are plans to bring in more of them in future. The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore also states that halal-certified eateries can allow guide dogs on their premises. m.todayonline//singapore/public-education-guide-dogs-needs-be-ramped
