They all respond In the ap proved manner except Buster, who fakes a bite at the padding and then tries to sink his teeth Into the In structor's ankles.

Meals for the dogs consist of $ pounds of cooked meat for every 25 pounds they weigh. They are given one serving a day. They are fed, groomed and taken on their patrols by only one man. The presence of a second person anywhere within their sight will meet with a hot reception. The dogs are trained to respond to verbal commands snd gestures.
