[nagdu] Ownership of guide dog

[Nicole B. Torcolini at Home]

Thank you. There was a story that I had in mind, but I cannot find it, and, 
frankly, I do not have the time to look for it right now, but, in the 
future, I will repost it when I find it. I think that Marion may have 
initially sent it or a link to it.
