| "Well trained dog bites" I Have to disagree with this statement! I hve three newfounland's which are very well trained, I have walked all three in VERY large crowds, the Christmas tree festival in Washington DC, the cherry blosom fesitval ETC, these ar crowds of over 100,000 people, I have trained dogs for diffrent activities,Pet therapy, service dogs, and water rescue dogs, so I think I have a small amount of experience with dogs, a well trained animal will not bite. As for bringing the dogs to the field,My wife used to enjoy bringing the dogs to the field, she would sit in her chair and comb the dogs while I flew, just a nice "Family" day out. IF we are going to ban dogs from the field, then I fell and have pressed this oint at my present club, to BAN children! The field where I belong, I'm the safety officer, we have had at least two(That I'm Aware of) incidents with children, the first one a small child, 7yr was running around in the pits, fell and damaged a plank, smashed the wing. the second was a child, was runnng around while the father was flying, and ran onto the runway, while I was on final with my helicopter, luckly I seen her and had enough time to abort the auto. As for people with allergies, I sympothise with those who suffer with them, but I refuse to stop cutting my grass,combing and owning my dogs just for someone else. Brian
