Dog

As I exited the train at Union and the people traveling to Aldershot got on, a man with a seeing guide dog struggled through the crowd.

Unbelievable and ignorant, a woman angrily shouted at him as he pressed past her (it's not like people were accommodating him) and his yellow Labrador dog brushed her coat.

'Dogs shouldn't be allowed on trains!' She hollered. I was right behind her.

I whirled around and said, 'Thank god he's blind. It saves him from having to see what the face of ignorance looks like!'

Wow, lady. Really? He heard you, you know.

I bet you made his whole morning.
