Learning by example

Example is the school of mankind; and he will learn from no other.

Edmund Burke

Burke might have been onto something there, but his outlook quite possibly was too narrow, having limited his observation to all of mankind but failing to include man's best friend.

Hunting dogs learn from each other as well.  Something like envy seems to propel them.  Watching another dog gambol about the field with birds flitting this way and that sharpens a dog's appetite for action like nothing else.

After watching the field action, this little Clumber spaniel puppy tries flushing some birds from their crate.
