Correction - I shouldn't have copy and pasted. drop the {} \; from the script
find /foo -name "*dog.dat" -print0 | xargs -0 tail -n5

Thanks.. works .. but I forgot one thing...
Is there a way to list the "file" prior to the tail or would that
require a bash/shell script.. I could have sworn that I've seen how to
accomplish this a while ago... arggh!
For that I think you need to use xarg as:find /foo -name "*dog.dat" -print0 | xargs -0 tail -n5 {} \;--
