[nagdu] People Who Diagnose Your Dogs!

[Larry D. Keeler]

I would have been cracking up!  That's not the first time i've heard of 
that!  I heard someones service dog jumped right in the fountain!  The 
person obviously didn't have much control over the dog but, full emersion 
baptism, for a dog!  That would have been great!
