A question for some of you who take your dog fishing: Why do you do it? I'm just curious. I fished yesterday on 2 different rivers and on several occasions I watched as dogs were running all over the place while the owner just looked mad that the dog was running around up and down the beach. Several times I heard some version of "George, George, heel George, George, hey, hey, George, stay, heel..." I have my own theories such as you dog owners like to pretend that you are fishing rather than really fishing or your wife doesn't want you or the dog around the house or you think everyone is going to love your dog as much as you. Maybe you just like to be frustrated while fishing? What's the real answer?
