Guide dogs in the synagogue

Hi,

One who needs a guide dog ("seeing eye dog") in order to get around is permitted to bring it into shul, even though we generally do not permit animals in shul. Ideally, such a person should sit in a place in which disruption will be minimized.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 1:45)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
