[nabs] Guide dog coats?

[Mark J. Cadigan]

I don't currently have a guide dog, but I am in the application process. I 
have a pet dog at home that gets cold easily. She has a little jacket with a 
hood that keeps her nice and warm. She loves to ware it, and curl up in her 
little fuzzy dog bed.

If you posted this inquiry to a guide dog specific list, you may get more 
responses.

Mark and his long white cane that doesn't mind the cold.
