<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff"><FONT SIZE=2>...As a dog person I'll put my 2 cents in to this discussion. I would
<BR>hesitate to bring my dog on the Camino for one reason...other dogs. On my
<BR>Camino I came across 3 different flocks of sheep...guarded by very protective
<BR>sheep dogs. It was all I could do to fend off these dogs (a great use for
<BR>the walking stick); it would have been a nightmare if I had to also protect
<BR>my dog companion. For what it's worth...Jim</FONT></HTML>
