Default When the handler breaks down

I saw a terribly sad thing this morning at a big obedience match in
S.F.. A friend of mine has recently lost a great deal of her speech
and mobility. Stroke was a possibility, but EEG & EKG Thurs. showed
that the blood vessels in her neck are constricted, depriving the
brain of O2. This has come on within a month or so. She has a GSD
who lives for her alone, that got her UDX this past summer. She
showed this morning for fun, and it was horrible to watch. The dog
can no longer understand her commands, though she tried very very hard
to. When she sent the dog out for the directed jumps, the dog checked
for gloves, then made tentative steps to both jumps, then sat down
whining. It was heartbreaking. May we all always be able to be there
for our dogs.

Lynn K.
