[nagdu] A narrow escape

[Danielle Sykora]

So sorry this happened to you. I am always concerned my dog is going
to eat something that can cause serious damage, particularly when he
decides to try to eat something on the floor near a lab table. The bus
seems to be the most common place he finds things to eat in easy reach
so I make sure he wears his Halti when ever we go on the bus. My dog
loves to rest his head on anything in front of him so I have found
that having him lay his head on my foot whenever their is adequate
space is pretty effective.

Danielle and Thai, who hasn't scavenged at all today
