Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
OTOH, a stoner slacker dog is much more likely to just loaf around in the lab doorway amiably snoozing and much less likely to careen around looking frantically for a Job To Do and ploughing into centrifuges and coolers of dry ice and such.
An organization here, Catholic Charities, maybe?, sent a team of 10 stoner slacker dogs (with handlers) to hang with relatives and victims in Newtown.

When I was hospitalized for a month a few years ago there was a therapy dog that came to visit, and I can honestly say it really helped raise my spirits.
