Darnell Hackworth: Ainsworth, Nebraska


Today, I interviewed Darnell Hackworth. He and his wife were two very nurturing people that established a retirement home for the four-legged that helped the war effort more then anybody else. At first, I didn't think that dogs could have done much, but after seeing what they were trained to do, I just sat back and listened. As I have described in previous posts, dogs were used to sniff out the the normal people K9s were basically brought up from birth to sniff out zombies. He said that the main test was to put zombies on one side of a fence, and the newborn dogs on the other. The dogs used in the force were the ones that looked the zombies in the eyes and growled. The cowards were not used at all. The dogs didn't just sniff out the bad guys. The lures would go out and hunt for zombies, lure them back to the soldiers, and allow them to open fire. The decoys would run around to the zombies and only bark on the far side to allow the soldiers to set up a firing line. Finally, there were the Long Range Patrol dogs who would go out for days in search of zombies. Soldiers would attach GPS to them in order to find out where the zombies where. As you can see, dogs played a crucial role in the war and were given the jobs people were too lazy to do.

I agree that the dogs did a great job at helping with the war effort. Who ever originally thought of using dogs to lure the zombies, or to send the on recon missions, was a genious! This is a very efficient way to collect data of infested zones and pic of gorups of zombies easily without risking human lives.
