The official ceremony to open the dog park... as seen from the dogs' point of view.

Today was the official opening ceremony for Dane County's 7th dog park — the same dog park you've seen pictured on this blog many times. It's not like it's been closed. It's just that today they had some officials making speeches and some TV cameras. When the speeches were over, it was time to release the dogs, who were supposed to go romping out into the park for some nice TV footage.

Meade was there, getting some blog-style video, which I edited into this 27-second show, stressing the experience for the dogs, who had no idea what these government officials have done for them or what all the talking was about:

No trees? No benches (for the people)? Any drinking water for thirty dogs?

It would have been fitting if Fido had taken a pee on one of the pols.

I was just watching that video. Almost blogged it.

We do have a GoPro.

Even so, stay away from the grizzlies.

Just because it's bear-proof doesn't mean you are

We had a dog that looked just like the white curly one in the screenshot.

Dumb as a post.

Maybe off-topic, but not exactly.

FYI

Can dogs smell cancer?

Could the dog be an even better friend to man than we imagined? For 15 years, a handful of scientists have braved scepticism and ridicule to investigate the possibility that dogs can be trained to sniff out cancer. With access to new scientific trials, this is the first in-depth account of dogs' ability to detect cancer in humans. The results are astounding and could be begin to challenge our core belief in modern medicine.

Hope the video works you for all.

The Blonde can smell cancer, so I don't doubt a dog could.

If memory serves, I think I heard of some Yorks trained to do it.
