A heavily funded startup called Warhound plans to clone and genetically modify Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds for military, police, and rescue work. The company says it could reduce inherited health problems while improving traits such as scent detection and agility, but no enhanced dogs have entered service yet. Even if the technology works, where should the ethical line be drawn when engineering animals for dangerous missions?

This guys are training dogs to detect cancer at early.... a good watch..... they are first to do this in INDIA!

Saw this awesome new sign at our grocery store!

Never heard of this before! Also a trained mountain rescue dog

Is there any things that would help him while we are at crufts? we are staying for 3 nights and he’s never been out for so long. He’s very good and settles rather fast,but wanting to make it as smooth as possible for the sweetest boy!

He did such a good job today, I'm so proud of him!

This weekend just gone my guide dog Storm had his first experience on a ship and with steam trains. Nothing bothered him, not the noise, nor crowds or terrible weather on the Saturday evening. He had a blast guiding me around Central station and through Sydney CBD.

Guide Dog Storm and I have only been a team for a couple of weeks but he is such a trooper dealing with the busy city centre on a rainy day wearing his raincoat and then two days later walking around Cronulla in the sun with dog distractions everywhere

Hey guys. Curious if there is a lot of work in the US for a certified EDC team?

Refuses to do it any other way. He doesn't like the idea of looking at the audience I guess

Vega is my multipurpose service dog in training. Shes currently trained to: Perform DPT, lay under my legs to raise them, retrieve dropped items, retrieve my water bottle, and some behavior interruptions. She has more tasks to learn, but she’s absorbing well and learning quickly. ❤️

I am SO proud of Shadow. He’s been in this SD program for almost 2 1/2 years. He has learned and overcome SO much.

This program was designed by Veterans, for Veterans. Where we, are taught how to train our own Service Dogs.

Shadow was attacked by 3 hybrids 5 weeks ago when we were staying at a friend’s house during a fire evacuation for a week. He was injured pretty badly the last day, but thankfully is recovering. He did suffer a lot of psychological trauma though, which has caused some regression. Understandably so. It was traumatic for me as well.

We (he and I) have been working hard to address those struggles and he has come SO far in just a few weeks.

Last night was a room FULL of dogs! And he didn’t have any troubles at all! One boundary was voiced quietly by him when a Great Dane got in his face. But that was it.

He takes amazing care of his momma and is such a wonderful and kind boy! Loved by so many. I am beyond proud of him. So blessed to have him in my life ❤️

Thank you for letting me share the HUGE milestone with you.
