WACO, Tex. (USA)
— On Tuesday, Aug. 13, President George W. Bush, Vice
President Dick Cheney, several top cabinet members and a who's-who of
business leaders and economic scholars converged on Baylor University
campus to discuss the economic fate of the nation. But the one who
made ABC
News and Reuters
headlines was a Yellow Labrador who decided he'd curl up and take a nap
rather than meet the President of the United States.
The dog's name is "QuintEssential",
the beloved service dog of Lucinda Harman who is confined to a wheelchair
due to a disease that affects her joints. She relies on the
multi-talented pooch to assist her in a wide array of tasks, from
unloading the washing machine to helping her if she chokes on food.

" 'Meet the President?' No thanks.
I thought you said, 'Eat the pheasant.' I'm going back to sleep."
Lucinda Harman and her reluctant
retriever "QuintEssential" say hey to the Chief at the Economic
Summit in Waco, Texas, Aug. 13, 2002.
