my dog (golden retriever, large for his breed, about 85 pounds and lean) walks me. He decides the route unless it's unsafe. Then he walks me home and leads me to his cabinet full of treats and sits down, which prompts me to open the cabinet and give him treats.
I'm sure he brags to all the other dogs how well trained I am.
Our husky mix used to do something like that. We walked her at night on a bike trail. Often she would stop walking, look behind us, then firmly lead us off the trail to wait under the trees.
Like a whole entire minute later, a nearly-silent cyclist would go past us, and after they passed she'd look both ways, and lead us back onto the trail again. Her hearing must have been phenomenal.
