[nagdu] On the Go guide harness

[Merry Schoch]

One thing I forgot to mention, is my dogs love to eat anything leather. 
Although, my first guide never ate his harness or his leash, my second ate 
his entire leash, all the way to the clip. while under a table at a 
restaurant when Marion and I were doing some work in Ohio.  My friends had 
to take me to a store immediately to buy a nylon leash.  So, I never had any 
problems with Julie's products because they are not leather!!
