Hi,
I just read your complete post and realized that you might not be able
to get it working. So here is the complete code:

declare @table table (o_id int, o_name varchar(50))
declare @dog table (d_id int, d_name varchar(50),o_id int)
declare @owner_dogs table(o_id int, o_name varchar(50), d_name
varchar(50))

declare @dog_temp table (d_id int, d_name varchar(50),o_id int)
declare @id table (o_id int)

insert @table values (1,'John')
insert @table values (2,'Mary')

insert @dog values(1,'Skippy',1)
insert @dog values(2,'Fido',1)
insert @dog values(3,'Ralph',2)
insert @dog values(4,'Alf',2)

declare @dog_name varchar(50)
declare @o_id int

insert @id
select distinct o_id
from @table

select @o_id = max(o_id) from @id
--select top 1 @o_id = o_id from @id

while @o_id is not null
begin
delete @id
where o_id = @o_id

insert @dog_temp
select *
from @dog
where o_id = @o_id

select @dog_name = null
while (select count(*) from @dog_temp) > 0
begin
set rowcount 1
if @dog_name is null
begin
select @dog_name = d_name
from @dog_temp
where o_id = @o_id
end
else
select @dog_name = @dog_name + ', ' + d_name
from @dog_temp
where o_id = @o_id

delete @dog_temp
end

insert @owner_dogs (o_id,d_name)
values (@o_id,@dog_name)

set rowcount 0

select @o_id = max(o_id) from @id
end


update @owner_dogs
set o_name = a.o_name
from @table a,
@owner_dogs b
where b.o_id = a.o_id

select * from @owner_dogs
