Has anyone even considered the fact that the person with the dog could have been BLIND?????

No, quite simply because if you watched the video you can see that the woman with the dog is obviously not blind, and that her dog is not a seeing-eye dog:

1) The woman is wearing glasses. [EDIT: I have learned that many blind people also wear eyeglasses in order to protect their eyes from projections like tree branches. So on it's own, this would not be a worthwhile criterion. However, in conjunction with the other observations made, it is clear the woman in consideration was not blind.]
2) The woman is looking around and clearly visibly aware.
3) The dog is on a normal leash rather than a blind halter.
4) When the woman goes to the front to receive communion, the dog is actually walking behind her.

Even if the woman was blind, and the dog was a seeing-eye dog, it's not like she's ALONE in the church! She doesn't need the dog in the service.

I don't mean to be rude, but, not knowing that person's situation, we have no right to judge this person because they had their dog with them. What if they have a mental handicap and they "need" their dog with them?

Okay, what on earth mental handicap is there where the person has some psychological "need" for his dog? You're just making things up as you go along, kinda like the "emerging church" is doing with doctrine and worship. You show me a person who "needs" his dog in a church service, and I'll show you an idolater.

There are many reasons they may have had their dog, and it is very unChristian of people, ESPECIALLY on a Christian website, to be making light of someone's possible health issues.

It's unchristian of you to be tossing around backhanded accusations.
