What was the Scottish Terrier's key role as a working dog in Scotland?

McGruff

Scotties were originally bred to hunt and kill the various species of wildlife that made life hard for the Scottish farmer and crofter, including fox, badger, wildcat, weasel, otter, and rats. http://www.k9web.com/dog-faqs/breeds/scotties.html Aug 29 03, 4:59 AM

Righto! In fact, scotties were bred to "go to ground" and hunt burrows. This is why their skin, though not wrinkled, is loose on their frame, allowing ease of motion in case they are latched onto by prey. Also why they can be lifted by their tails without pain. (When a dog's front half is down a badger hole, there are only so many ways to get them back out.) Aug 29 03, 10:46 AM

[I was actually working in the Lobby selling Programs, key chains, and videos on this night.] Where is the 'key' on the basketball court? Mozart's 33, 29, 31, 32, and 39 are the key to what emblem? Is there any such thing as a skeleton key?
