Hi

By far the most photographed member of the Canadian team is Angus, a Rowers guide dog. Unlike most guide dogs Angus wears his character on his sleeve, and he is a great character. He has been a remarkable sport with all the noise, and people around. Though there are billions of people in China, there are aparently only 7 guide dogs. Combined with the fact that you are only allowed to have a dog less than 30lbs, and 16 inches tall, Angus is a huge hit. Where ever he goes press, athletes and locals line up to get their picture taken with him ....even in the medical clinics!. He and Victoria have been very tolerant, and are one of the reasons that I am having so much fun. I have to admit to occasionally stalking them to catch times when he is off harness so that I can get my dog fixes in! (sorry Bo!).

Hi, Bruce-the photos are great! We're so glad you can have some time with a canine "team member" while you are there! Hope the jet lag is easing up--we'll try to call Gretchen tomorrow--Dick and Susan
