Eskimo dog looks for a beast, bays it to show its location and holds it until a hunter will come there. When a beast runs away along ground or trees' tops as well when bird flies up, Eskimo dog is after its sacrifice until animal stops or flies again and bays it. In hunt for ducks Eskimo dog scares a bird off, gives it to hunter's shot and fetches it.
