I have liked / agreed with this post but I think that it does oversimplify the comparison. A dog has to be trained and exercised, it forms a reciprocal bond with its master, each knows instinctually what their role is. A dog is mans natural hunting partner from times before guns and metal tools. Watching and working with a dog is totally different to thermaling. Pig hunting with tracking collars is perhaps a better analogy ?
