    Thanks for telling us about your assistant.  I know dogs, and even
small monkeys have been trained for helping disabled people, but they
still reamin kind of a novelty.
    Where did you get Zuga?  Was he trained specially to work with the
disabled?  And how much did he cost you?  Did you have to go through
training yourself in his handling?
