Lionel's perfectly ordinary dog made him rich. How come?? | ||

Did the dog unearth something that was valuable? Did the dog find something that led to a reward? Did watching the dog doing something give Lionel an idea for a successful invention? Was the dog some form of assistance dog that enabled Lionel to get to his place of work? | ||

Was the dog moving at the time of the inspiration? At rest? Dead? Did he create memorials for them? Was it an item for dogs to use? Humans to use? | ||

should we be looking for a particular action done by the dog? was it a normal doggy behaviour? was it a reaction to something? was it being trained? was it interacting with another dog? a person? could it have been his pet ferret? or another kind of animal? | ||

Was the inspiration caused by a sound the dog made? Was Lionel in physical contact with the dog at any point? | ||

Is it the dog that directly inspired the man? Or something that happened while he was with the dog. Are trees relevant,(where winter is differenet from other seasons) Was the man indoors or outdoors? Did something get stuck to the dog's fur. Is the color of the fur important? Breed of dog? | ||

|
Is Lionel's idea to do with insulation? Padding? Would it be used in the field of clothing? Animal care? Health? Sports? | ||

Are the leaves of the tree important? Bark? Possibly fruit? Antoher part of the tree? Did something stick to the dogs fur, then he got an idea? Do the more likely breeds of dogs have: long hair? short hair? hair size relevant? long tail? short tail? tail size relevant? Just to be sure, they were not on a walk? | ||

is velcro relevant? did burrs stick to the dog's fur? (I know I have real problems with these on my pooch) | ||
| Eliot (Eliot)
|
That must be it, Hannah. | ||

They were on a walk when the "something" stuck to the dog's fur, but the insripration struck after the walk was over & he was trying to remove the "something" By Hannah Kinghern (Kdoc) on Tuesday, June 07, 2005 - 08:23 pm: is velcro relevant? yes did burrs stick to the dog's fur? yes (I know I have real problems with these on my pooch) By Eliot (Eliot) on Tuesday, June 07, 2005 - 08:32 pm: That must be it, Hannah. IT IS!!!! **** SPOILER ********** Clever Hannah triumphs AGAIN  !!!!. I reaed somewhere that velcro was invented by a man who was imnspired by the difficulty of removing burrs from his dog's fur. I realized this one would probably be easy but figured it would be fun. I hope my new one is only the latter. Please check it out at the bottom of the page. | ||
