b. they require a huge investment of time, dedication ,training, and patience almost from the day they are born.

explanation:

the sentence gives a clear evidence of how carefully the sar dogs are selected and also specify from what time this exercise begins."almost from the day they are are born." this sentence shows as that this exercise begins early.

if you need any clarification or more explanation pls do mention in the comment section.

    prior to dee leaving home, the everyday objects in her household were just that- everyday objects. she took no special notice of any of them. however, once she returns home, all of these objects represent great culture significance to her. she is incredibly enthused about how great the wooden benches and old quilts are because she thinks it is in-style to be in touch with her own culture.

hope this : )
