The book explains that innovation is rarely the result of a lone genius working in isolation. Rather, it is most often the product of âtechnology brokersâ that bring together a network of individuals to synthesize and bridge ideas from different domains to see them through a new lens.
A dog itching and scratching will automatically make you think of fleas. However, there are several other factors that can cause skin itchiness, ranging from allergies to hormonal problems or stress. Allergies are the second most common cause of itchiness in dogs. Inhalant allergens such as chemicals, dust or pollen can all cause itchiness.
Even in temperate areas or in cases with home infestations, the symptoms of flea bite allergies appear to worsen in the summer and fall. Dogs that have flea allergies will bite at the base of their tail and scratch frequently. Even a few fleas can cause hours and days of intense itching. Many dogs have a characteristic loss or thinning of hair above the base of the tail.
