- Tabular-Iceberg 3y agoNice to see that the dog made it. It's not long ago that the dog would have certainly been shot on the spot as well. Conventional wisdom says not to treat working dogs as pets because it makes them soft, but in the experience of both hunters and mushers that I know, the stronger the bond with the dog, the better the dog performs. I wonder if the same may be true of code monkeys.
