[pct-l] Dog food

[m.karon at comcast.net (Marshall Karon)]

My guess is that any dog will lose weight, just like we humans do - unless 
already at the hiking weight.
At least your dog ate - mine normally didn't want to eat much, at least for 
the first few days. But, I never went more than a week with him.
