[nagdu] guide dog question

[mary wurtzel]

Hello,
I use a Martingale
 harness with Felix.  It goes right along with the regular  
harness itself.  A leather piece goes down his frot, through a 
loop under his stomach and then it latches as any usual harness 
does.  It has a leather handle that sticks up on his back.  I use 
that to go down steps, difficult places for balance, even really 
deep curbs.  I say "brac" and can put some of my weight, (believe 
me, not all) on Felix to help me down.  I was told that this 
harness came from England.  They also have something to do with 
horses.  I am not the best at discription, so just ask if you 
need clarification.
Mary
