Primal instincts taking over. Sticks are good for a lot of things. Fire, spear, walking, poking things out of trees, throwing at the dog… sticks are good.
Fyi, I would advise against this. An alarming number of dogs get hurt by it. They chase after it, and try and grab it. If the angle is just right(wrong?) the stick can impale their mouth. It requires surgery to fix.
Canadian with a stick ..... I need to use this while wearing metal blades on my feet and full armour with a bunch of my friends while we fight another group of guys with sticks and metal blades under their feet.
