Where do you live that a cane or dog would make you an outcast? I'm in the US and know many blind people and they tell me they prefer to use a cane or dog so they are not dependent on another person. The dog users encourage the cane users to get a dog for the freedom of mobility they offer. Having a dog doesn't mark you as an outcast, at least in the US. It's been proven that blind people with a dog are much more likely to meet others because people feel more free to approach them and talk about the dog.
