I came across this on the site I have my blog:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-15480264

Initially I thought some good had come from the Met Office moving down
there. I even contemplated moving there myself to help find and train
other dogs with such political savvy.

Then I read the bad news.

This had me really puzzled. I was trying to work out how or why a dog
would help the lightning strike someone. Not WL's fault, it's the way
the headline's worded.


For the loss of a hyphen, the sense was lost.
