I used to go to a place that had an emotional support dog for patients while they waited for their appointment, she was a very sweet dog. But she wouldn't be the sort of dog to guide someone—such as a blind individual—through a crowded area. Her purpose is to calm people down and make them feel comfortable and at home.

Best of luck!
Thanks Butterfly! I am reaching out to a friend with an emotional support animal dog this week.
