A few years ago we donated a stud dog to the Leader Dogs For the Blind. I may be wrong about the name, but it was a school to train leader dogs. The dog's name was Picasso. He was a great dog, and they used him for years to produce litters. One of those who attended a graduation said that they brought Picasso to the graduation one year. It seemed there was a murmur in the room and then everyone whispered, "It's Picasso, he's here." I guess it was like a rock star was in the room. The graduations are very heart warming. Evan L.
