[nagdu] Guide Dogs and Pets

[Larry D. Keeler]

Well, yah!  Poodles were initially bird dogs along with retrievers and labs. 
But, they can be trained.  My little one is afraid to even come close to our 
birds!  When they are on the floor he circles and whines!  But, when we are 
outside, he sure wants them!
