re: #132 yma o hyd

Yep - ‘tis true: one’s got to ‘learn’ one’s dog, best from puppyhood.
After all, there are a huge number of books about, telling one what to do. Not every dog needs or wants to be an Obedience champion - but all need to know basic commands.
And how will you know when your dog is under the weather if you haven’t learnt his or her usual behaviour?

My guess is that there won’t be a dog, as such - but they’ll show their kindness by sponsoring a mutt from one of the dog charities …

Yeah, that’s pretty muchthe way I see it. The dog will just be a prop for a photo op.
The cynic in me says that one of his drones gives up his trained dog, so that BHO can go rescue it with his kids.
