[NAGDU] The Osgood files

[Cindy Ray]

That was the newscast I saw. It is kind of fascinating, but it feels kind of
cold. I suspect though that if it really works well it would save money and
struggles for all concerned.

CBS news radio has a bit called "The Osgood Files".  Today, it was about a
guide dog school using IBM's Watson to analyze data submitted by raisers on
puppy behavior to predict who would make it to be a guide dog.  According to
the report, Watson was 100% accurate.  The raiser interviewed said how the
data could be used to intervene early in potential problem behaviors, but
that bit wasn't explained much in the short piece.

I missed the beginning, so didn't hear which school it was.  The pup being
talked about was TJ.
