Yeah, congrats to team Sonny & Brix!
And yes, Count, you're absolutely right about the ability of meteorite
hunting dogs such as Brix and Hopper - they're great. There'd be only one
necessary completion

Hi List,
I've had the fun of hunting with Brix and his "daddy" Sonny Clary and
witnessed how devoted they are to each other and how smart and driven this
great German Sheppard is. I've watched Sonny train and work in the field
with this super dog. I had my doubts about a dog's ability to scent
meteorites...(perhaps Brix uses sight also). I forgot that these animals
are used all over the world to scent out inanimate and animate items.
Truffles, birds, rabbits, stags, wild boars, people, lost personal items,
land mines....so why not meteorites...especially "fresh" un-contaminated
ones.
I once saw a Belgian Malanois used by our police department go into a room
full of men he had never seen before and immediately go to the one who had
the drug test packet (marijuana) sealed in a fresh plastic baggie in his
shoe. I was told a dog's nose is 5000 times as sensitive as a human being
and can process thirty or more scents at the same moment.
Yeah! Brix. Congrats Sonny.
