Maybe one of these dogs can be used before the next mine purchase.

It is very interesting to think that OreDogs could be more economical at locating ore bodies underground than any existing technology. The fact that they can smell an orebody up to 12 meters below the ground is rather impressive. So as long as the dogs are treated ethically and enjoy their work, as I understand many work dogs do, I don't see any problem.
