[NAGDU] A Thanksgiving topic for discussion

[Raul Gallegos - NAGDU]

Hello everyone, first off, Happy Thanksgiving to everybody who celebrates 
it. If you don't, I still hope you have a great day no matter what. Now, as 
to the topic for discussion, I would like to hear pros and cons, do's and 
don'ts, concerning the topic of giving your guide dog a special extra treat 
on thanksgiving. Whether this is a dog treat, a sweet potato, a dog breath 
treat, or turkey from Thanksgiving dinner, let's have some positive 
discussions as to why people do and don't, or whether people do or don't do 
this.

I can even go first. With a few dogs in the past, I have occasionally given 
them a small piece of turkey. However, I no longer do this, and my current 
guide dog does not get any. Instead, I might give him an extra sweet potato 
treat that I know is fine for his stomach and digestive system. Let's 
remember, positive discussions and no right or wrong answers here based on 
philosophy or beliefs.
