I grew up in Alabama where we had some land. We had a black Lab named Sparky. He HATED to come inside. We had to forcefully pull him inside when it was too hot and we felt he needed some AC; or on those rare nights when it got cold enough to snow.
He had a dog house filled with (straw, I guess; I was little) and a plastic wading pool in the summer; and he pretty much ran free.
He was happy; but would never have been content as a house dog; like Lucy and Ringo are.
