[nagdu] Pilot Dogs

[Larry D. Keeler]

Shiela, I thaught that Pilots application was the least intrussive of them 
all.  I wasn't sure that was good until I got there and met the staff.  I am 
one of those that don't necessarily believe that you can judge someone by 
coming to there home and watching on video alone.  Pilot was good at judging 
a fit pretty well.  If it didn't work out, they could change pretty quickly.
