Do you choose to bring one? Yes

If you could only have one or the other, would you choose to bring a dog, rather than a human companion? I’d rather bring a dog.

What breed do you select? Why? A German Shorthair Pointer. I’d bring her along so that I have companionship without opinion, and an early warning system. Don’t have to worry about a dog shooting you if foodstuffs run low also. If times got too terrible, I’d eat the dog.

What gender? Why? A female. Less rambunctious.

What preparation do you make for the animal? Constant exercise and hunting practice (upland/forest game). Send the puppy to a renowned dog training facility. I will accompany her for training too as soon as I complete the survival courses.

What additional supplies do you bring? An extra camelback that she can wear, a blanket, and just a few treats until we get our first meal. A few cans of dog food as well.

What role do you envision for your dog, if you bring one? Companion and hunting partner. German shorthairs are very good bird/chase dogs.
