re: #331 ggt

all my dogs have pointed —all huntin’ dogs, but none of them Pointers. I think they are genetically meant to partner with man. They find it and you are supposed to kill it. Then they bring it to you. Problem is that most owners didn’t get the dog to be a hunting companion. We’ve let them down in a way. :)

I had a beagle that pointed airplanes.

I read an article last year that said that humans and dogs are the only animals that understand pointing. Even chimps and wolves don’t ‘get it’. It’s something our two species seem to have developed as a unit.
