Oh, my God! Well, good thing you're so adorable! Yes, you are! Yes, you are! Who's an adorable little bulldozer of destruction? Yes, you are!

Oh, Paras is here! Come on in! Mindy, Mindy, are you okay? I can swore I heard some zips! No, no, no, no, no, no! I'm so connected! Oh, my God!

Oh, sorry, got Ross! Mindy, this dog is swaggering all over me! Sorry, got Ross! I'm babysitting my ant fojo's dog for the weekend!

Oh, boy! Don't worry about it, Mindy. Nothing a bathtub full of hand sanitizer can't fix. What are you? Much better. This sure is one big dog you have here, Mindy. I know, right? He's a great dang.

Wow, so not just a big dog, but the biggest dog. Yep, biggest dog breed in the whole world. By the way, what's the big guy's name? Oh, his name is Neals. Oh, I get it! You get what? Neals, like, like, he kneels, like, like a dog. What? No, Neals, isn't Neals Bore!

Neals Bore, Neals Bore! Neals Bore, Guy Ross! He's the scientist who basically invented the field of quantum physics! Oh, yeah, Neals Bore! Can he win the Nobel Prize in 1922? Sure did! And you want to know another fun fact about him? What? He was Danish. Oh, that's starting to make sense. He was Danish. His name was Neals.

He was a great scientist and Danish people are called Danes. And so Neals is a great day! Wow, that is very clever, you're old, Ann Mojo. Right? Yeah, so what were you doing that got all Neals so riled up? Oh, so he was helping me to solve a mystery. A mystery? Yep. In fact, it's what he does for his day job. He solves mysteries.

Mindy, are you sure you're not just confusing him with Scooby-Doo? No, I'm not confusing him with Scooby-Doo, Guy Ross. But like Scooby-Doo, Neals is a great day and both Scooby and Neals are working dogs.

Yep, a working dog is a dog that's not just kept for a pet, but also trained to perform a certain job. And don't worry, Guy Ross, I already looked over his resume and he is more than qualified to be on the case.

So Neals, this job here requires you to perform a lot of different tasks. You think you'd be able to handle a workload like that? Nice, confident, I like that.

Now what would you say is your biggest weakness professionally speaking? Well, I appreciate the honesty. Now finally, it says here that you've had three years of improv experience. Could you elaborate on that a little for me?

You see, Guy Ross, dogs like Neals have been helping us humans out for centuries. It's part of the reason why we get along so well. Isn't that right, pal?

And you know what? I'm pretty sure I have a book on this in the library. Come on, Guy Ross, follow me. Of course you can come too!

All right, here we are. Wow, Lindy, I had no idea you had this whole library back here. Yeah, it used to be Reggie's Taekwondo Dojo, but ever since he moved to the time machine, I've been slowly filling it up with all of my books and brains and bubblegum.

Oh, yeah, so when I built this gingerbread mansion, I decided to organize all of my stuff in alphabetical order by room. Only I never got past the bees. The rest of the house is a disaster.

Obviously. Anywho, now what was I looking for? Let's see here, the weird and wacky world of worms. No, that's not it. Working weasels of Wisconsin. No. Oh, here we are. Working dogs of the world.

Now I just need to find this one chapter. Found it. Okay, Guy Ross, it says right here that dogs have been working alongside humans for thousands of years with evidence of them being used on farms in ancient Viking times.

And you know, now that I think about it, Mindy, I've seen working dogs used for lots of different jobs from security at airports to finding people that are lost in the forest to even detecting diseases like cancer.

Hold the phone, Guy Ross, detecting cancer? Well, Mindy, it turns out that some dogs are so good at smelling things that some scientists are using their incredible sense of smell to detect diseases like cancer and even diabetes.

That's bonker balls. They must be packing one impressive snows if they're able to detect something like that. Especially because to us humans, those diseases don't smell like anything. And if dogs can smell them early enough, it might be easier for doctors to start to heal people who might have those diseases.
