Oh sure. If not, I'm sure Owen Grady will be around to help protect everyone. Or just to make me run into a few walls because I'm staring at him. :-)

Well, as owner of it, I'm sure you'll have other people who can do running around for you, while you are sitting in nice office checking on security cameras. Of course, as dedicated owner, you'd make sure that Owen is keeping everyone safe :P

*please don't hold it against me, but I had to google him first. Couldn't put face to the name (or other way around?)*

No problem on the googling. I'd probably be the same way at times and give you a blank stare until you said "Jurassic World" to me. :-)
