It may seem as if failing school is the end of the world. However, once you’ve accepted your failures, you’ll realize that you still have a good chance at life. What’s even better is that there’s a satisfying twist in store for you.
Lulu, a puppy trained to be a bomb detection canine at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), has demonstrated that failures aren’t always bad. This puppy was scheduled to join the CIA’s K-9 team as an elite member, but life had other plans for her.
The dog wasn’t cut out for the professional dog life, and that is according to the CIA. According to the agency in their website, it was critical that dogs like the work they were doing.
The agency also made it clear that being an explosive detection K-9 was not for everyone, even if a dog passed all of their tests and learned how to identify hazardous scents successfully. This was to explain why Lulu was dropped from the program, which was a sad announcement from the organization.
The organization went on to say that after a few weeks of training, Lulu began to exhibit signs of disinterest in identifying hazardous odors. Even if they bribed her with food and play, the puppy was uninterested.
Because the trainers’ primary concern was the dogs’ welfare, they had to make the tough decision to dismiss her from the class.
Despite her failure in the elite program, Lulu had a silver lining in store. She was eventually adopted by her handler.
When a dog is dropped from the agency’s K-9 program or is about to retire, the handler or the handler’s family apparently had first dibs on adoption. The dogs-in-training and their handlers have built close ties even after only a few weeks of training and working together.
Instead of having to earn her rewards, Lulu is now enjoying her meals in a dog dish. She is also quite occupied with playing with her handler’s children and sniffing out squirrels in the yard.
