The owner didn't need to speak; the dog handled the entire situation
@Rainmaker1973 Alt text: Person using a guide dog enters a busy subway train. The dog goes right to the reserved seat and noses the person sitting there, who immediately grabs his bag and stands, holding the folding seat down for the person with the dog. All happens in just a few seconds with no fuss.

Oh he was holding the seat down! I was wondering about that. Utterly decent fellow.
