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

[Cindy Ray]

I think as we grow older we come to have more insight into the bond with our dogs. This isn’t saying that younger people don’t know; it is just saying life builds on what we know. The poor woman had to find a topic, so what better than the poor unfortunate dog users who have been provided for study specimens. I am grateful that I don’t fit their mold. But maybe we can just do the questionnaire anyway? Or will it just be tossed aside?
