On CNN's website, there was an article today "Tiny drug dog sniffs out big career - Ohio pooch trains to be one of nation's smallest law enforcers", which is about Midge, a tiny 6-pound Chihuahua-rat terrier mix, that is a drug sniffing dog from Chardon, Ohio. Chardon is just down the road from the Embrace HQ so we say hooray for such great publicity for a sister town in our area.
Midge has the heart of a lion and the nose of, well, a dog sniffer extraordinaire and she is an extremely capable dog that can get into all sorts of small places other larger drug-sniffing dogs can't reach.
Her handler takes her around to different people, including school children.
On visits to school classrooms, Midge gets passed among tiny hands. And McClelland offers a lesson:
"I tell the kids, 'Even when you're small, if you take a stand you can make a difference.'
I think that would be a pretty effective lesson, don't you?
