[nagdu] Dave, Tammy, & Maddox Anspach

[Sherri]

My second dog Shadow would have guided anyone. Because of personal issues, I 
got to Leader Dog class on Tuesday and received Shadow the next day. We 
didn't have the usual in the room bonding time and we went out and walked 
together right away. She walked with me as if she had been guiding me 
always.
