					Dan, Tracey is calling you! Tell the
list about guide dogs in Japan, I've heard you talk about it before and it
still intrigues me.

Subject: [nagdu] Dog suits

A friend and I were discussing shedding last night, and she said that
Japanese guide dogs wear lightweight suits to contain their fur.  Has anyone
else heard of this?  I might actually be interested in getting one to use in
taxis.

The subject came up because last night I took a taxi, and, when we got home,
the driver asked to borrow a lint brush to clean up the fur.  I brush Krokus
every day, and I don't think he sheds very much, but his fur is white, so I
think it really shows.  Sometimes, I bring a towel for the taxi, but I was
coming from the City, and didn't want to be schlepping a towel around with
me.

Tracy
