"The bus driver said 'get off the bus with that dog,' and I said 'I beg your pardon? He's a guide dog,' and he said 'no he's not, get off the bus,'" Taggart said. Blind Low Vision NZ chief executive John Mulka said Taggart's experience highlighted the need for continued awareness and understanding for blind, deafblind and low vision New Zealanders. Blind Low Vision NZ guide dog breeds are chosen for their intelligence and steady, friendly nature."
