When unusual behavior reveals an invisible danger
It was a regular day for Shadow, an experienced German Shepherd K9 trained to detect hazards in the crowded area. But today, as he watched the line, his manner instantly altered. He peered at a seven-month-pregnant woman with the stiffness of a military on alert. Nothing in his demeanor suggested danger. Still, the dog growled, his low barks chilling the air.
Shadow detected something weird, just like a seismograph detects the initial tremors of an invisible earthquake. Agent Grant, his lifelong colleague, recognized right once that this was no routine warning; it was far more serious.
