TODD: It\u2019s well-known that Rush Limbaugh loved cats. You\u2019ll know he also loved dogs. Today\u2019s EIB\u2019s High Note happens to be about a dog named Sheldon, who failed. He utterly failed as a service dog. (laughing) The lab retriever mix essentially had the dog version of ADD. He was constantly distracted by smells and couldn\u2019t focus.<\/p>\n

\"\"But the thing that was his downfall (that\u2019s his nose) became his best asset. He got a new career as an arson-detection dog. Sheldon — I assumed his owners, perhaps not Sheldon (chuckles) — enrolled in State Farm Insurance\u2019s Arson Dog Program and went from being last in his class to top of the class. After graduation, he was paired with Lieutenant John Tadlock of Saginaw, Texas, Fire Department. Tadlock said Sheldon had the potential all along, he was just in the wrong field.<\/p>\n

\"\"TADLOCK: So Sheldon initially started life as some sort of service dog. All of State Farm\u2019s dogs are career-change dogs. Seeing-eye dogs, epilepsy dogs, that sort of thing. He flunked out of that school, and they tested him to see if he could be an arson dog, and he made a better arson dog than a service dog — and, lo and behold, here he is.<\/p>\n

TODD: So of course, inherent in that, is the message to all of us: Let\u2019s not limit us just because of perceived weakness, because often that can be turned into a strength! Can\u2019t it? Yes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
