Answer 2

Since you asked this in the aviation section I will give you an aviation answer. If you are referring to a Bird dog, they are aircraft that are used in aerial firefighting operations to check approach and escape routes for the large tankers, typically carrying a fire officer on board who decides where the swath of fire retardant needs to be laid, and how much, also "scoring" the pilots efforts since the tanker pilots in some parts of the world get paid on the accuracy of their drops. Fire retardant is very expensive and therefore expensive to waste.

Another aviation term would be a Dog Leg, typically a 90 degree heading change.

And finally another British "aviation term", "dogs bollocks" used for example in the phrase "You made a real dogs bollocks of that landing"

Domestic dogs come in a bewildering variety of shapes and sizes. They have been selectively bred for thousands of years for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes. Domestic dogs have been bred throughout most of their history to be one of a kind of working dog, including dogs bred for herding livestock, different kinds of hunting (pointers, hounds, etc.), catching rats (small terriers), guarding humans (mastiffs, chows), helping fishermen with nets (Newfoundlands, poodles), pulling loads (huskies, St. Bernard's), guarding carriages and horsemen (dalmations), and as companion dogs. Some kinds were even bred simply as lap warmers (Pekinese). Their basic physical make-up though, no matter how modified, is that of their wild ancestors, gray wolves. In other words, all domestic dogs, from miniature chihuahuas to German sheperds to St. Bernard's have the same traits, they are just different sizes and shapes.
