[Rain Man]

It's actually kind of fun to isolate out each dog's role.

Little Brown Dog #1 - First on the scene and totally useless. Runs past the mama bear to futilely chase a cub, then just wanders around and is finally picked up and carried to safety. Grade: F

Little Brown Dog #2 - Good platoon action. Initially chases a cub to split the bear forces, then runs back and organizes an offensive on the left flank of the girl when she attacks. LBD#2 then fires the last barking salvo before joining in the retreat. Grade: A

Big Black Dog - Ill-advised frontal assault resulted in taking a bear paw directly to the ol' sniffer. Immediately gets routed and flees, but returns on the right flank to the rear of the girl when reinforcements arrive. However, stays far out of the action on his counterattack. Grade: C-

Little Gray Dog - Flies right into the conflict. That was brave, but stupid. Two seconds from becoming an appetizer when the girl saved the day. Then fled without looking back, never to return. Grade: D-

Neighbor Dog - Positioning for a devastating surprise attack from the rear, but arrives on the battlefield too late and without urgency. Grade: D
