Wall said Lambeau, a 7-year-old English Labrador retriever, is his service dog who monitors a heart defect Wall has had since birth."He's never been at an event like this, I will admit that," Wall said. "The noise bothered him at first, but he's gotten used to it. But he loves the attention — he does, not me."Wall estimates that Lambeau is asked for at least 250 pictures each day by other delegates, reporters and attendees."At least that many. I lost track. It was three or four at a time, every ten minutes, for ten hours. Unbelievable."
