[nagdu] Ownership of guide dog

[Buddy Brannan]

Hi Marion,

I have two harnesses, one from Julie and one from Bob and Rox'e. Love 'em both. In fact, I use the Laveau style harness with Leno all the time rather than the school issued one.

It's that the equipment has the guide dog school's name on it, and the school doesn't want their name to be associated with, for instance, a dog that they didn't train. This could happen, for instance, if the harness were sold on eBay. I have no opinion on this one way or the other, as there's absolutely no magic in guide dog gear.
