How to behave with a pet dog near a guide dog

What would you do if you were walking down the street with a pet dog and passed by a blind person with their guide dog?

Don't let your dog get too close. Keep your dog under control. Never let it off-leash if there's a guide dog nearby, and always pick up after it. Blind people can step in it, and it's a means of transmitting parasitic diseases to assistance dogs.
