It’s a good idea. But many good ideas fail.

Reading some of the comments makes me question my WSJ subscription.

More knowledge and understanding is always a good thing. Maybe less pit bulls will be shot just because they look "scary"

How is that "ears forward" on the second image?

Yes, it's a good idea. An awful lot will have to do with how it is presented to the working street cops. Will someone with an interest pick it up and actually teach or will it be "check the box" for this, that, or the other requirement.

The snippet there that addressed the abuse component got it right - more often than not, the owners are the problem. But, my profession screws things up too.
