[Sportsandrec] running

[Roger Acuna]

I once had an awesome German Sheperd who would run around on a quarter mile 
track. We worked our way up to running four miles a day, no problems.  On 
occasion we would run down streets.  He was my best guide ever.  It took 
some practice by slowly starting into a trot, gradually into a full run.  He 
did not appear stressed at all and all the while guiding.  Now, my current 
dog wouldn't even consider running unless I toss her a ball to fetch. So,
