Where I am going for todays bit in the newspaper -----
The fact that we are not developing enough scientists is something we hear about all the time. Let me add a rinkle... we are not developing enough dog trainers either...Plus the whole project of dog training is not give the perspective it should get. Hands up for anyone who would want to live in that corner of Pennsylvania with the murderer running loose with a rifle. With thousands of man hours spent ,how was the man finally made immobile? No possible officer would or should go in close with that.... but a super quick very efficient dog... with teeth – had no problem.
From leading the blind-- to sniffing cancer cells—to cadaver dogs at earth quakes...to drug dogs at the border---to alerting deaf people to the oven timer that says the pie is ready... to courtroom dogs comforting—to dogs who just sit and listen while a child learns to read..... to all the dogs who just listen to our daily problems. We have not scratched the surface.
