Luna is a Miniature Australian Shepherd, and I was minding her the week of New Year's, while my sister was on vacation. Luna is popular on the channel, so I thought I'd show you some of the games she likes to play--and also point out how play prepares dogs for real life and instinctually teaches them skills they would need to use in hunting.

If you've listened to Episode 252 of Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjmI8tViKrU) and learned about Joshua Norton and "his" dogs Bummer and Lazarus, who were expert ratters, you can see how the same instincts that Luna is using would have been used by Bummer and Lazarus to deal with rats.
