[nagdu] EXTERNAL: Puppy raising

[Meghan Whalen]

Unfortunately, they can take the harness, because it says it is property of 
the school, and it is numbered.  The papers signed when graduating, at least 
from seeing Eye state that we gain ownership of our dogs, but the school 
retains ownership of the harness.  If you don't want the potential of it 
being taken, I hear there are some wonderful harnesses being made out there.
