A Dog called Perth

"My goal was to make her distrust all roads on planet Earth. After training her not to set one paw on the road's surface unless she was with me, I tested her. She soon caught on. Undistracted by people who stopped to watch her she would not budge from the street kerb. I succeeded in making her perfectly streetwise. It was a lesson in the future that would save her life many times over"
