I live in an earthquake zone. It is called Seattle. We don’t have many rumblers here, but when we do, they’re pretty serious. Just a few years ago the mighty Nisqually quake dropped the block my apartment was on six inches. The whole block. Were the quake any harder, the building might have come down around me. If I didn’t die, I’d likely be trapped, as that building was held together by gum and wire.

That’s where this little guy comes in. That adorable outfit he’s wearing would be food and other supplies to keep me going until help arrived. The idea is he can get to places rescue workers can’t, and faster.

Godspeed, Earthquake Rescue Dog. While I thank you for doing your job, let’s hope we never have to meet.
