Coach,
Sitting out alone with the dogs helps you "contemplate" things much better. Plus,the dogs seem to provide better answers...........

There isn't a dog that I have not liked....but as for humans the less said the better.

Also,I have never met a dumb dog but again...as for humans.

Just look at the news (I don't).

My dogs were never trained hunting dogs,they were my companions in field & stream.

They could spot game long before me. I just watched their body language and followed their lead.
