I've added some external links, but I'm not ready to remove the prod tag. First, two of the links, although somewhat useful in establishing the use of the term, contain ads. Second, the term seems to be used with at least three meanings:
A dog with separation anxiety
A dog that prefers to be near its owners or other people, whether or not it exhibits symptoms of separation anxiety
A dog that remains close by the left side during the obedience "heel" exercise
Part of me says "delete the article"; another part says "leave it, since it can serve the function of disambiguating the meanings, and someone would just re-create it anyway".--Curtis Clark17:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As it is a slang term, the presence of multiple related but distinct meanings is not that surprising. I don't exactly know whether this can be expanded or whether it should be transwikied to Wiktionary and then re-prodded, but I'm contesting the prod notice (as the reason "unreferenced neologism" has been addressed and also because the prod tag expires in 2 hours), with no prejudice (at least on my part) to re-prodding if the article is transwikied. -- Black Falcon21:50, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
