history: I just put in an application to get a police dog who failed his training.  I know the process to get one is difficult, but I'm crossing my fingers I just put in an application to adopt a police dog who failed his training. I didn't even realize they let you adopt dogs that failed the training_comma_ how did it fail do you know?
current: Typically it's because they're too friendly or don't respond immediately to commands.  I know the process to get one is difficult, but I'm crossing my fingers!
next: Wow, I bet it will be a really good dog then. Hopefully you hear something soon!
