context: How to buy a retired police dog
Evaluate whether a retired service dog would be a good fit for you.
Retired police dogs are usually german shepherds, dutch shepherds or belgian malinois. These breeds are extremely active and have been classified by the american kennel club (akc) as part of the herding group.

OPTIONS:
- Determine whether or not you will have the time for daily walks and play sessions with an adopted dog. All breeds selected for police service require large amounts of physical activity.
- Their game of fetch is marketed as " biscuit dog " and is highly unlikely to be misconstrued by other dogs. Unfortunately, very few have had completed service dog training or have been certified by the akc.
- If you are looking to buy a retired police dog, you will need a dog with excellent endurance. This breed is highly communicative, needs stimulation from other dogs and runs with agility.
- The german shepherd is not the best option for you. Consider buying a retired service dog that is in decent physical condition.

context: How to find direction without a compass
Identify the big dipper.
The big dipper is comprised of seven of the sky's brightest stars, and is found either high or low in the northern sky, depending on the season. It also rotates around the north star, which is why it's important when you're trying to find your direction in the northern hemisphere.

OPTIONS:
- As long as you're located no lower than 23.5 degrees north latitude, the constellation is always above the horizon. Four of the stars form the big dipper's bowl, while the other three form a handle.
- The big dipper is the third brightest major star in the sky. This is called " the big dipper " because the center of the sky is located at this point.
- If you want to use a compass, place your compass upright before you get too close to the big dipper. This will stretch out the center of the compass.
- Use a compass to find direction if possible. If you can't find your direction in the southern hemisphere, you can use a compass to find which direction you're headed.

context: How to bake frozen salmon
Thaw salmon in the refrigerator overnight for best results.
It's perfectly safe to cook salmon straight from the freezer without thawing it. However, fatty fish tend to be limp and soggy when they're not slowly thawed.

OPTIONS:
- Cooking salmon in the freezer overnight (plus 4 days before it's due to thaw) can make it lose its freshness and become soggy. Leftover salmon can be steamed and served as soon as you wrap it in plastic wrap and thaw it in the refrigerator.
- Because of this, lightly cook the salmon before it thaws. If you've finished cooking salmon, bring it to room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator.
- For flaky, crisp fish, thaw your frozen salmon slowly in the fridge for at least 12 hours. Thaw salmon in hot water for 5 minutes if you're in a rush.
- Thaw salmon separately in the refrigerator or transfer it to freezer storage. The precise amount of time depends on the type of salmon you're trying to make.

context: How to take pictures of your black pet
Choose a light, muted backdrop.
For subjects that are difficult to photograph, a light-colored background can provide helpful contrast. Look for places with muted primary colors or pastels.

OPTIONS:
- If you want the cat's body to stand out more, a light might be better. Avoid portraits that will provide some visual contrast.
- Avoid areas where white is the most obvious, like caves and cloudy skies. Try placing your black doll on a plain window frame.
- Avoid dark backgrounds, bold primary colors, and neons so your pet isn't overshadowed by their surroundings. Sharp white backgrounds can create uncomfortably high contrast with jet black pets.
- Position the camera on a tripod. An orange tripod is suitable for outdoor photography.
