[Oagdu] Crating our dogs.

[Marianne Denning]

That is a good question.  At CABVI each area had someone who was in
charge of making sure the area was cleared.  People who had to crate
their dogs were told to leave the dogs and the person in charge of
safety would get the dogs.  There were some areas at CABVI where it
would be dangerous to keep your dog near you.
