(Tribune News Service) As it turns out, humans aren t the only ones who ve been experiencing quarantine lately. In January, over at the headquarters for Canines for Service, the nonprofit Wilmington group that trains dogs and places them with disabled veterans, there was a big, friendly boy named Archer who barked and sniffed at the outstretched hands of a couple of masked visitors. Archer, a shaggy Great Pyrenees with a striking coat flecked with grays, blacks and browns, was a new arrival at Canines for Service (CFS), and as such was in his own cage, quarantined a room over (a precaution against kennel cough and other such ailments) from a half-dozen dogs in training who were also barking excitedly.
