Also, dogs get ticks if you walk them in the woods. If they get near their ear, the dog cannot bite and kill them. Consequently, the dog's master must remove them and if not detected early, the tick swells up to about the size of a marble. Removing them is gross and for the master and painful for the dog. But, they are "man's best friend" and can be trained to be much quieter than a WIFE. And for the tick-in-ear removal, you are THEIR best friend.
