The U.S. Department of Justice recently sued Uber for refusing rides to passengers who use service dogs. The Americans with Disabilities Act requires ride-hailing services to accommodate riders who use service animals and mobility devices such as wheelchairs.

She joins us with more details about the lawsuit, along with Lynn Dubinski, vice president of client engagement and impact at the organization.

Send us a textWhat happens when a veteran ICU nurse combines her medical expertise with 30 years of dog training experience? Pauline Hoegler reveals the remarkable answer on this episode of Kindness Matters.Pauline's organization, GOFIDog (Golden Opportunities for Independence), has developed innovative programs that harness the extraordinary capabilities of Golden Retrievers to serve communities in ways that transform lives daily. The stories she shares will leave you astonished at what these four-legged heroes accomplish.Picture a police officer approaching a child in crisis—a situation that typically escalates to ambulance calls, emergency room visits, or even arrests. Now imagine that same scenario, but with a Golden Retriever by the officer's side. Pauline shares real examples where these Community Resource Dogs completely transformed outcomes, de-escalating volatile situations and creating connections where traditional approaches failed. "Within five minutes, he was back in class," she explains about one remarkable intervention with an autistic student.Beyond community policing, Pauline's facility dogs support students from elementary school through college, while her service dogs assist people with disabilities, PTSD, and medical conditions like seizure disorders. The science behind these capabilities is fascinating—these dogs can literally smell biochemical changes that signal an oncoming seizure, allowing them to alert handlers before symptoms appear.What makes Pauline's approach unique is her commitment to creating successful human-dog partnerships through comprehensive training that goes beyond basic commands. By focusing on problem-solving skills and building deep bonds, she's achieved success rates far beyond industry standards.Want to experience some kindness in action?
