A totally useless dog or a reason to get out of the house, "honey the dog is getting antsy, I have to take em' huntin'".

Range for starters. You need more range to find a lost dog than you need for tracking hunting dogs.

A hunting dog will return

A hunting dog will return apon a given audible signal.
