[nagdu] Freedom Dogs

[cheryl echevarria]

John was at our National Convention in Orlando this year; at least I think 
that was him, the gentleman with the English or is it Australian Accent. If 
I am wrong whoopsie; would someone please correct me if I am wrong.


What a nice man, we talked about his experience as well as his travel 
experience.
