[nagdu] Moving sidewalks

[Raven Tolliver]

Hi,
At GEB, students are taught to avoid injuring the dog's pads on
escalators by simply walking when you get close to the end. I suspect
that if you just keep walking on a moving sidewalk, which is not
always feasible with the number of people just standing on them, you
can avoid injuring your dog's feet.
