[nagdu] Interesting Names Re: guide dog book about young person

[Linda Gwizdak]

Hi Rox,
Does Laveau have cropped ears?  Some people have a "thing" with Dobies and 
Rotties - like pitbulls.

My Mom was afraid of Dobies at one time until she met this wonderful little 
Dobie my sister had. Mom LOVED that dog! She loved to take the dog for walks 
when she visited my sister.  That Dobie would sit on my Mom's feet and give 
her that toothy Dobie grin in sheer pleasure.
