What dogs and humans have in common? They both are smart and full of energy. With just a little bit of training, our four-legged companions can easily learn all sorts of useful tasks that humans do. So why not employ them? As it turns out, some people already did. We here at Bored Panda have compiled a list of dogs who are working in a daily job just like us. Don't believe us? Scroll below to see for yourself!

I don't care what you can teach a dog.. you can't teach it to purr and smell nice. I love my cats with all my heart and their sole "job" is to make me smile. and they do it constantly, without error, without needing a reward. they be who they are and no one can tell them that they can't. their independence is inspiring to say the least. we could all benefit from the pride and self respect that cats have for themselves.

This Cute Pupper Helps People With Epileptic Seizures On A Skiing Resort
Amber Cook 5 years ago
We have a pug. And about a year after we got her my husband ended up in brain surgery from an accident. One night she woke me up by sitting my chest and putting her nose on mine, which she had never done before. Thinking she had to go out I got up, she wouldn't leave the bed. 10 min later my husband starting having a seizure. She had NEVER BEEN TRAINED! And any night he would get ready to have one, she would do that same exact thing and I would know. She's a good puggerella

I'm not a dog person, but I'm not a dog person (I prefer cats), but seeing working dogs makes me happy. Dogs have assisted humans for tens of thousands of years and were largely bred for work ethics among other more specific abilities. I feel that most dogs probably WANT a defined job with clear rules. And working dogs are generally handled by proffessionals who are educated about their needs, they get proper traing and are thus are more relaxed because the do's and don'ts are pretty clear to them, and since they have a defined job they get to be certain that they're an essential part of their pack. I feel for the dogs of inept owners; paradoxically, the fact that dogs are social and so very much focused on humans means that they require a lot more work to be taught PROPER social behavior that will make their life a pleasant one.

Yes, to train your dogs: first train your humans. And me also, not really keen on having a dog, but it is lovely to see them like this.

I am a dog lover and have always had one, that was both indoor and outdoor, though I have had to make some adjustments as my NZ husband thinks dogs are for work and live outside. So now have been adopted by a Burmese/ Rag doll cat that thinks its a dog - so I am happy as he comes in and out as he wants.

We bred our two labs to create a litter of working dogs and maybe one to keep as a pet. These American Field Labs have serious work ethics and frankly most people can't handle them unless they do a lot of work with them early as we did. (Hence we call them meth labs.) We ended up keeping one male and trained him well. The others were trained to work and work hard they do. One does policing with the local sheriff's department. One does Ag Inspections at a local FedEx facility and keeps bad things from coming in and going outta state. And yes he marks on weed. It's a hoot watching him run up and down conveyor belts. A couple others do search and rescue. Our prodigal pup was trained to locate cash money! Finding drugs is easy. Finding money is hard, He and his handler have located millions of illicitly gained dollars in vehicles, walls, floors, furniture and cleverly hidden in consumer products. Let's just say that's rewarding work because the dog digs it and the handler gets bonuses.
