[nagdu] the public and dog breeds

[Dan Weiner]

Or what about the bizarre conversation I had the other day:
"Is he a girl dog?"
Dan: "he's a boy yes"

"she's so beautiful."

You've gotta' smile at that one--lol

Hi Pam and all,

I often wish (jokingly of course) I had a pitbull or another breed that's
sadly seen by the public as dangerous. So they would let me and my dog have
our peace.
I have a lab whose face looks, according to many sighted people including my
guide dog trainer, like a puppy's face. Additionally, he's so friendly and
wagging his tail all the time. Almost every member of the public wants to
say hi to him and says: "She's still young, isn't she?" So apart from the
fact that he'll be 4 in November, really everybody thinks he's a female. A
female puppy with a heart full of joy. I sometimes hate the public. ;-)
