[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 538453, member: 101136"] There was a bit of a buzz about these dogs on the JDRF "D mom" scene over a year ago..(Mainly on FB.) Some of them even convinced they could train the family pet to do this based on the attentiveness of their beloved hound... lol I would imaginer the same amount of selection & training would go into this as would a drug sniffer or guide dog... Though i do wonder about the "ethics" of relying on an animal to supervise a human..? But that's another subject... ;) I did write a ditty on this subject for the JDRF charity gig last year, sung to the tune of "Bread of Heaven"... If interested sing along.... There’s a dog they want to orbit like an old Russian space program. There’s this dog called Mr Bouncy saved lives in Afghanistan. Mr Bouncy, Mr Bouncy evolved with no opposable thumbs, trained to ignore sniffing bums…. There’s a dog called Mr Bouncy, bred & trained in type one care Warns of signs when sugar levels drop the patient lives so don’t despair. Mr Bouncy, Mr Bouncy trained to deal with CPR, trained to deal with CPR…. Mr Bouncy gives a bark, when patient starts a sugar low. Bouncy reads for the signs of confusion as patient raids his biscuit bowl. Mr Bouncy, Mr Bouncy trained to deal with what we are, he will never do a chocolate bar…. [/QUOTE]
