Arthur Spielman and his dog Bunkie watching our demonstrations carefully--too carefully, it seemed to me.
He was a very small gray and black German Shepherd with large ears and had an unusual characteristic: when the other dogs were all sitting at attention, little Bunkie usually sat up with his front legs off the ground like a prairie dog, so he would be as tall as the others.
He demonstrated by sending Bunkie to retrieve a marked stone from a pile of similar rocks.
After several of these demonstrations, Spielman went so far as to proclaim that Bunkie could find any particular stone in a pile that he asked for and return it.
Spielman said that he would prove it: Bunkie could retrieve any stone that he was told to, and Spielman would bet them a dollar a man that Bunkie would never pick up the wrong rock.
He asked the men to get their stones and mark them and hang on to them until they told him which stone they wanted Bunkie to retrieve.
