Are you planning to start a diet?


MARION:  I am on a very special diet.
I love donuts and I think if could just stop eating them my obesity problems would be over. I'm training my dog to help me quit the donuts. Just like the drug police and customs have dogs that help them find drugs, I am now training Fido to find my donuts. And when he has found the donuts, he eats them which results in no donuts left for me! It's brilliant!

We've been training for two months now and Fido is making some progress, but still I find the donuts before him. Yummy!
