Will you give up ten minutes for the breed?

Hi all, I'd like to introduce a positive idea and I'm looking for some help.

A friend of mine is up for one of the Pepsi grants. She has developed a new and unique way to use German Shepherds to support organic agriculture. She uses GSD to detect bugs so that orchards and vineyards do not have to be routinely sprayed with toxic chemicals. Her dogs are highly effective. There is a short video showing Rixi von Sontausen working. So it's good for the breed and good for the environment and good for what we eat.

You can see her grant information and vote for her here

Please vote for her. She needs to be in the top ten to get funded. In comments I started a list so we could number the GSD people helping out with this. So far there are a measley three of us. If the Sieger show thread can get 22,0000 views there is no reason over the next ten days that Rixi and Shay can not get 22,000 votes. So lets see if this board can accomplish something good for a change. I believe we can. Please prove me right.

This is a good thing and shows how amazing dogs can be. People really need to vote. I just voted and it was the 172nd highest vote. Come on and support our working dogs by voting. They need a lot more votes and you can help.
