[nagdu] dogs and canes

[Jody Ianuzzi]

I have some of the slim line canes made by California canes which is not in business anymore. I have heard advantage canes carries the carbon fiber  seven section I DK mean just like the slimline Kane. It weighs only 4 1/2 ounces and disappears in your pocket. It is carbon fiber and has very sturdy joints so it actually feels solid when in use. I think it is the perfect back up for guide dog handlers.
