The other day, at the end of a VERY long and rambling train of thought, something occurred to me:
Has anyone ever used a dog to help with finding rockets? I mean you don't want to have Rover grab your Estes Black Star Voyager and tear across a field with it, nor do you want any living creatures near an HPR rocket that may or may not have un-detonated charges in it. (without verifying what's happened)....
But dogs CAN be trained (e.g. bomb-sniffing dogs) to find something and alert without touching. Just wondered if anyone had ever tried something like this. I don't even have a dog, I'm just curious.
(and obviously or not, if there were any question about the dog's welfare, I'd yell a resounding NO, but I would think that most dogs would enjoy a romp in a big open field....)
