I once was in the graduating class at a dog obedience school with my Afghan Hound, Mirasham. We had to put the dog in a long down which is where you signal the dog to lie down and you then walk to the opposite side of the auditorium, turn and face the dog and they are supposed to stay in the down position. I was 1/2 across the auditorium when I head snickers from the gallery, then downright laughs. I turned around wondering what person's dog didn't do as directed and there, standing right in front of me was Mirasham while all the other dogs were across the auditorium still in their downs. The instructor took pity on us, he was an Afghan Hound after all, and gave us a graduation certificate.
