My dogs have done stuff in pack mode that they would never do individually. Usually it happens when they are with friend dogs (bad influences - my precious angels are victims of peer pressure) who lead the way. The two I have now are the dog equivalent of my clients - the c students who follow. Good natured but not too bright (although I usually attribute more laziness than stupidity to the dogs). In WWII they tried to use my breed to be guard dogs but the dogs would not consistently bite or attack so they became couriers but I don't think they excelled at that job either. There are no statues of them like there are of Balto or Greyfriars Bobby or Hachiko.
