[nagdu] Comments

[Larry D Keeler]

Yah, folks think our dogs are are guardians! In a sense they are but not 
like folks think! For example, I've had folks tell me Holly wasn't doing her 
job because she don't always take me up to the church. She doesn't always 
know that's where I want to go! Sometimes I want to go to the building next 
door or maybe even the bus stop!I have to tell them its my job to get us 
where we need to go but rather to stop me frrom bumping things or tripping 
over stuff.
