It’s very difficult. My brother is blind and has a highly trained and totally legitimate guide dog. His guide dog is literally his eyes and he is very dependent on her. Legally, he can’t be denied traveling with his dog (or staying in any hotel or accompanying him into any private business) within the United States. Unfortunately, those protections are not available to him and his dog when traveling internationally, including Europe.
