First of all, I'd
hate to be the guy that made that decision. Let's get guard dogs to watch over 1,000 "dog toys". Barney must have thought he'd died and gone to chew toy heaven.
Then...who chose a guard dog that it took 20 minutes to get under control? I've worked around K-9 handlers in the past. They have remarkable control over these animals. One word, or one movement, will take these animals from docile, to "Cujo", back to docile again...in under 2 seconds. It appears that Barney wasn't the best choice of a bad choice to begin with.
"You want
how much, to provide a trained guard dog?!?"
