I have written extensively on my other blogs about my family travails with owning dogs. At this point, it’s my desire to love dogs from afar, and what could be more afar than to watch "Dogs with Jobs" on the National Geographic Channel. Our DVR hiccuped, so we have only 18 minutes of the first one, but it’s enough to note it’s a four-bone winner!
____Barring other unforeseen DVR accidents, we’ll be watching all sorts of bowsers do all sorts of magical things. We’re partial to dogs that help the blind, handicapped and emotionally traumatized. Once, on "Airplane," a once-good but now lame show on A&E, about days in the life of Southwest Airlines, some kook couldn’t get on the plane without his emotional guide dog. The dog’s job was the keep the man calm and out of trouble. Alrighty, now.
