I think the issue is that others think our dogs take care of us!  But, of 
course its a symbiotic thing.  The dogs don't bump us into stuff and we take 
care of them!  We have brains as well as our dogs do and in iether case, the 
brains of both work well!  Sometimes at cross purposes but usually in 
tandem.  And, dogs don't!!  know where we want to go!!! Or for that matter 
what we might want to do!  Lots of folks think that is the case!
