[nagdu] not cleanning or picking up

[Larry D. Keeler]

I think the issue was more at conventions and the like.  I've heard of dog 
handlers standing around claiming that iw wasn't there dogs!  I would just 
pick up the stuff and move on!  Also, Iv've heard stories of finding 
presents under chairs where guide dogs were and folks playing it off!  I 
don't care for that kind of thing much.  I always have bags and a towel with 
me just in case.
