The Miami Heat Plan To Use Covid Detecting Dogs At Home Games

You can now add this to the never ending list of why dogs continue to be the absolute best. It's Friday and we all deserve a pick me up and who brings that better than dogs? Seriously, what can't they do. I'll be honest, I had no idea this was even possible but I do know that if there were one species that could potentially save lives by simply smelling sweat, it's a dog. If it were up to me, I would just turn to dogs to help solve all our problems. Think of all they do already. They help with depression, there are seeing-eye dogs, they provide emotional support, they provide endless entertainment, they can get you a beer out of the fridge, they can identify bombs, they can rescue you from disaster, the list goes on and on. Tell me something that wouldn't be drastically improved by adding a dog into the mix. You can't. They never fail. Well, now you can add "making sure everyone is covid free as they enter a Miami Heat basketball game" and frankly every single franchise should adopt this plan. 

I have no idea how many of these dogs actually exist, but I'll enroll both of my Saint Bernards right this second in whatever training they need to do if there's a shortage. I can't promise they'll stay awake the whole time considering they sleep about 20 hours a day but it's in their blood to save people so I think this could work.

Maybe it's just me, but I would feel way more confident about being anywhere with a crowd if I knew a dog gave everyone the seal of approval before coming in. People? You can't trust em. Everyone has an agenda. But a dog? A dog has never told a lie at any point in its life. My trust with a dog I've never met is a billion times stronger than my trust in your common man. People are assholes. I know I'm not alone with the idea of dogs > people, so if one of these heroes gives you two paws up then that's good enough for me. 

We all want life to go back to normal as quickly as possible and maybe the answer has been staring us in the face this whole time. Just get dogs involved, and let them work their magic. 

Boom, problem solved.
