Given the suggestion that the aircraft of the future will be crewed by a man and a dog. (the man is there to feed the dog, the dog is there to bite the man if he touches the controls) the sooner we get the dogs flying the better!
I have already seen the prototype, a man who always seems to have a golden retriever in the other seat of his Thruster. Last time I met him he was taking a new litter of puppies flying, one at a time.
