[NAGDU] research request for assistance dog users under the age of 55

[carcione at access.net]

I noticed that myself.  55 is not old, though maybe to an undergraduate it seems ancient!  I just turned 62, and I'm still getting around very well, and expect to continue to do so for quite some time.  Could be thanks in part to my dog, as I make an effort to get out every day, for a walk if nothing else, just to get us both some exercise.

I don’t understand why there should be a maximum age limit for this survey! I guess they’re not interested in the opinions of older people. I take exception to that.
