John was talking about a more "intelligent" dog. This is not
the same as "cute n cuddly". With a more intelligent dog,
you take the ball, throw it, then say, "Come on boy, go
fetch the ball". The Intelligene Dog looks at you with
a look that you can only read as, "Why, so you can throw
it again?".
Dogs smarter than humans that play golf (where the game is -- first, you have the ball, then you put the ball on the ground, then you hit the ball, then you chase after the ball. Now, you had the ball in the first place!
[derived from Bill Crosby].
I'm not sure that is going to have the effect that you want on the luddites.
