Dover is a small town, 15 miles due west of our state capitol, Topeka, KS. It has a population of 357 people and 42 dogs. And I know each and every rotten, flea ridden, foul smelling one of them dogs personally! I HATE dogs! and they Hate me. The following True story is why I Hate Dogs.

When you leave Dover, if you ride South and West on gravel, for about 3 miles, you'll reach the base of Echo Cliffs Hill. It's an imposing hill early in the training season. At the base of the hill is the US Army's Guard Dog training Facility. Every dog you see patrolling a military complex or protecting our President had to graduate from the Dover Dog Compound. The Army used to keep these dogs behind a 12 foot chain link fence with that sharp pointed barb wire at the top. They did, that is, till someone filed a Historical Landmark law suit. It seems the Santa Fe trail crossed at the exact spot of the Dog compound. So the Army tore out the barb wire and went to this new technology called "Invisible Fencing". Each dog is fitted with an electronic collar. At the perimeters of the camp there are small towers that have laser beams that send light in the blue band spectrum to the next tower. If this beam of light is interrupted, radio waves are transmitted sending an electrical shock to the guilty dog.
