Must be a Pointer

We question the wisdom of this sticker. After all, when your Irish Setter is riding shotgun, you'll still need a navigation system, especially if you're lost. Even the best bird dog is only going to drool out the window and occasionally snort because too much air has gone up its nose.

Dogs may exhibit many admirable traits but they are not capable of spatial memory or forming cognitive solutions to being lost in an unfamiliar environment. Plus, they like to eat the most revolting portions of your garbage.

Seems like this commuter's choice was based less on logic and more on emotion: who wouldn't prefer to have a co-pilot who is both the beginning and the end over a canine who, though loving and unquestionably loyal, likely won't bark out the correct turns?
