Secular doggeral about the Guide Dog "Christmas" who served Jan Robitscher of Berkeley, California, a teacher at The School for Deacons in Berkeley, California. The "poem" tells of the end of "Christmas'" career, and her moving on to retirement with Carol Luther, a Priest in the Diocese of California (San Francisco Bay Area). This is a sad story in a way, but told here about the service and happy, warm relationship this dog from Guide Dogs for the Blind had with the Nashota House seminary graduate Jan Robitscher. A sweet little tale, says the poet who reads the poem he wrote, Peter Menkin. These words from the poem: "With her, "Christmas" the Labrador, Jan can go many places bravely.The two clip along at three miles an hour. That is good walking speed.
