[nagdu] Wrangler, the Today show dogÉ

[Raven Tolliver]

I think Wrangler will be matched with someone who is already in the
spotlight -- who enjoys being in the spotlight. There are several GEB
grads who are frequently in the spotlight, on TV, on Youtube, and at
various events throughout the country. Like dog like handler.
