Animal story

While I work on something a tad more serious, here’s something I think most of us can enjoy.

Dog owners will appreciate it most of all.
But here is something to remember: Not all dogs can be taught all tricks. There are some simple tricks that even smart dogs can’t master.
I learned that from a guy who had a trained dog act in Las Vegas. I don’t remember his name, but he had about 20 dogs, all rescued from shelters. He needed that many dogs, he said, because each had a few tricks they could do, and different dogs have different abilities and interests.
Most dogs do want to please their people, but they have different personalities. In fact, most animals do, but that’s a story for another day.
