[at-l] Dogs as companions or emergency rations?

[nealb@midlandstech.com (William Neal)]

Why Kelly, who'd ever consider that?!  Of course I understand that one of
the asiatic countries (Korea?) is planning a campaign to persuade non-Asians
that dog meat is OKAY!  Why think of the convience to hikers.
Companionship, pack animal, and lunch all rolled into one.  Give an entirely
new meaning to Hot Dog!  Just kidding.

I had a friend who was one of the first advisors in Nam.  His unit rotated
out to Hong Kong for R'n'R.  His Co arranged for a tour operator to set
everything up for them.  My friend was engaged and very Christian.  So when
the tour operator started introducing the guys around to the hostesses, my
friend quickly let him know that he was Christian.  The tour operator
quickly found a nice Christian girl who did nothing more than escort him
around to the restaurants, theaters, etc.  Lucky for him.  She quickly let
him know that he should not eat the "house speciality" at one luxury genuine
Chinese restaurant.  It was a real Pekingnese dish.  Enough! :-)

.  So I'm curious
if anyone on the list has or has experience with a giant schnauzer?

Thanks,
Cleek

My dog had a boss had a dog (what?!???) MY BOSS HAD a giant schnauzer, and 
she was a great dog, had her for 16 years.  But, I'm telling you now, if 
you're going to hike with it, better be prepared to carry LOTS of food.  
These dogs can eat!  Now, if you want to get one like mine (3.78 lb Maltese)

you can just feed him some of your grub.  AND, if yoU get REALLY hungry.....

Ok, I won't go there.
