[nagdu] Wolves

[Marion Gwizdala]

Marsha,
    My ex-wife and I had a McKenzie Valley Timber Wolf as a pet. Although I 
never trained him as a guide dog, he would guide me around obstacles, low 
overhangs, and stop at curbs. I can only imagine if he were to have been 
trained. My current guide actually looks like a litter mate of that dog!

fraternally yours,
Marion
