Felt like this community might appreciate these sticks, even (especially?) if they are meant for dogs.

A place for enthusiasts of sticks of all shapes and sizes. We all love a good stick! Is it a walking stick? Light Saber? Gun? Looks brown and sticky? You decide!
Feel free to post sticks to rate, sticks that look like things, memes about sticks, long winded rants about the superiority of birch sticks over oak, anything stick related! Natural sticks are preferred, but modification and ornamentation is also fine.

I wonder…
If you build enough of these and keep them long enough till multiple generation of dogs have always known the places where sticks can be found in the beginning and are also left in the end.
Would they grow to use it naturally without human intervention?
Come to think of it, what is even the thing with dogs walking around with sticks, evolutionary wise? People training them to find wood for the fire or as part of social game in the wild?
Maybe the stick is just "prey" they caught and carry around for the human.
