Dogs are amazing. I had a Rottweiler that took to rocks naturally. A long time ago, I received a package of Saharan meteorites from the Labennes, laid one out on a table and my dog made off with it and buried in the back yard. I gave him another one, he took it and tried to bury it as well. This is how we found where he buried the first one.
I could pick up any rock, observe its unique characteristics and throw it into the river. My dog would then go after it and not return until he had found the exact same rock I had thrown among thousands of others. I do not know how he was able to do this since it seems unlikely that a dog could smell anything submerged in water. It was like magic watching him retrieve these rocks. I have no explanation for this. A trained dog seems like a natural tool to use in meteorite hunting. I am curious to how this works out. Who knows? Maybe Brix will be the first dog in history to make a cold find.
