sciences that he stayed on as an employee.
In addition to loving animals, he has an interest in Buddhist Philosophy, and
hopes one day to travel to Tibet. Because of this interest, the Tibetan breeds
of dogs hold a special appeal to Dan, and he hopes one day to own both a Tibetan
terrier and a Lhasa Apso.
