Rachel Scdoris was born with an uncorrectable vision defect known as congenital achromatopsia. She was denied entry into the Iditarod until 2005, when the Iditarod Trail Committee allowed her to race with the aid of a visual interpreter after she waged a two year battle with them to compete.

Can a visitor with guide dog be refused entry?

If the blind person has written proof that the dog is in fact their working guide dog, then in the US they cannot be refused entry into public places. I am 99% certain that they cannot be refused entry if their partner is allowed entry. Ex. if their owner goes to a movie theater, it's private owned, but if they purchase a ticket to a movie, I'm almost positive their dog has to be admitted, with no extra cost.
