By Jennifer Kenny 		  
1     Arnold loved animals. However, one kind of animal constantly made him sneeze and get watery eyes - dogs. The symptoms had gotten so bad that he was going for special testing by a very special doctor - an allergist. He was hoping the allergist could help him prevent those symptoms.
