As I walked to meet K-9 Ultra, a five-year-old explosive-detection canine and one of the finalists of the 15th Annual American Humane Hero Dog Awards, I ran through my list of questions in my head: How do you stay so focused during a mission, even in the presence of clear environmental distractions like squirrels and birds? Do you always comply with your handler's commands? And Is that behavior transferable to my civilian dogs?
