[nagdu] Guide dogs and electric wheelchairs

[Larry D Keeler]

Never seen a guide dog team like that! I do know we have a place up here 
that trains service dogs that help with transfers, picking up stuff and 
opening doors. Its in Waylon Michigan and is cald, Paws with a Cause. My 
wife use an electric wheelchair and I know Holly has never been afraid of 
it!
