German Shepherd Dogs of New Skete
Reader comment on: Laurence Mancuso, 72, Leader of Dog-Training Monks

Submitted by Norma Freas Ramey, Jun 28, 2007 11:17

What a thoughtful and thorough article on these wonderful people.

However, it just seems to - stop - with only the early times of their

working with and raising these splendid animals. I haven't seen

nor heard anything about them in recent years. I remember Father Mancuso and I'm 73

now and have been out of touch pretty much in recent times since I've become a widow.

I know folks would very much appreciate knowing if the dogs are still being raised and/or trained.

thank you, Norma
