[nagdu] Really big dogs

[Mark J. Cadigan]

Tracy,



I have a larger dog, at around 80lb or so. He fits everywhere I need him to 
fit, however, if he was much larger, I don't know how well he would fit. 
However, I would not trade him for a smaller dog; in fact, I want any 
successor dogs to be the same size, or larger.



I find my friends with smaller dogs run into problems with there dogs 
getting trampled in crowds and subways. With a dog this big or bigger, the 
dog makes his own space, and doesn't get trampled.
