The boom in trained service animal use and access has transformed the
lives of travelers with disabilities. As a result, tens of thousands of
people in the United States and Canada enjoy travel options that were
difficult or impossible just a few years ago.Henry Kisor and Christine
Goodier provide a narrative guidebook full of essential information and
salted with personal, hands-on stories of life on the road with service
dogs and miniature horses. As the travel-savvy human companions of
Trooper (Kisor's miniature schnauzer/poodle cross) and Raylene
(Goodier's black Labrador), the authors share experiences from packing
for your animal partner to widely varying legal protections to the
animal-friendly rides at Disneyland. Chapters cover the specifics of
air, rail, road, and cruise ship travel, while appendixes offer
checklists, primers on import regulations and corporate policies, advice
for emergencies, and a route-by-route guide to finding relief walks
during North American train trips. Practical and long overdue, Traveling
with Service Animals provides any human-animal partnership with a
horizon-to-horizon handbook for exploring the world.
