   Sounds spot on to me, I was in rehab with a guy once and his sister came to   
   see him and   
   I don't know what kind of cop she was but she had a badge, any way, the   
   point is she brought this dog with her and her whole thing was training the   
   dogs to be everything from a search and rescue dogs to a explosives and drug   
   sniffing dog.   
      
   She worked with one dog at a time from like 7-8 weeks old until it was an   
   adult on a one on one relationship. Those dogs are highly trained no bull   
   shit officers of the law. If they sniff you and find dope, it's the dog that   
   is putting your ass in the stir, yup, you've been busted by rin tin tin.   
      
   She did have funny stories about taking pups like 3-5 months old on airplane   
   for trips and while she obviously wasn't blind, if anybody and I mean any   
   body fucked with her or her dog about what ever, she could and said she had,   
   whipped out her badge and told whoever that if they interfered with her or   
   her dog or tried to stop them, they were committing federal offenses and if   
   they didn't stop and desist in what ever they were doing, they would go to   
   Federal Prison. She wasn't shitting, it's illegal to even look at the damn   
   dog wrong if she decides it is,   
   Well that's an exaggerating but my point is doggies are big time cops, they   
   can and do find bombs, save lives and put nasty old drug users in   
   prison...damn mutts.   
      
   She also said one other interesting thing, she said there is like a week in   
   the puppies life at like 13-15 weeks that if anything traumatic happens to   
   the dog during a week to 10 day window, like it gets scared real bad or   
   anything, the dog will end up being useless as a special dog, it freaks them   
   out or some shit and they are never worth a shit after that as   
   professionals, she said they just adopted them out. I thought it is was   
   interesting.   
      
   Zaphod   
      
   I wonder considering the daily training how much one of those dog is worth   
   by the time it is ready for action. I bet $100,00 a piece or better. I'm   
   guess but no shit I bet I'm close.
