Eli Atias: Yours Faithfully
Taking the dog for a leisurely walk in the park turns into one of frustration when man’s best friend turns a deaf ear to frantic calls of “Come!” by its owners.
Nothing unfamiliar, it’s just an altogether typical everyday scenario. But for the 38-year-old Israeli, Eli Atias; it is a disconcerting moment.
As a veteran K9 dog trainer in military and security forces around the world, he understands that while its owner wants the dog to come, the dog doesn’t quite understand what is expected of him. The communication breakdown produces only frustrations and hand-waving despondency from the human tugging at the other end of the leash.
Such a scene produced that light-bulb moment for Eli. He knew he could fix it readily and quickly, but faced with work commitments; it was pushed to the back-burners – for another day.
