“If the pointer is not pointing to a valid object or function, bad things may happen.”
― Robert C. Seacord, Effective C: An Introduction to Professional C Programming

“And the job was done, too, boys â€� for Old Frank. He had stuck to that point all afternoon â€� all through that snow â€� all the while we had been looking for him â€� while I had been taking Jack to the farmer’s and coming back my self â€� through the cold and the sleet and the wind and the ice â€� he had held the point, true as the warrior that he was, the grandest, gamest, noblest of his breed that I have ever known.”
― Horace Lytle, The Story of Jack: A Tale of the North

“However, pointers, as a rule, will train up quicker, are less likely to show temperament, and may work better in warm weather if water is scares; while setters are more likely to work better if the going is wet, take cover more courageously, and prove more nearly “one manâ€� dogs. But burrs never the pointers â€� you pick your own dog!”
― Horace Lytle, Gun Dogs Afield

“They don’t shoot ground game in his neck of the woods and the last thing he wanted was a dog which would take off after a gopher or a squirrel. And he said that bum-punching quail over pointers was no more interesting than shooting clays down-the-line â€� the same going-away bird every time.”
― Gerald Hammond, Whose Dog Are You?

“Setters,â€� he was saying, “are usually supposed to be the keenest and pointers the strongest, but in my opinion it all depends on the partic’lar dog. Nowadays I hear a good deal about the pointer beinâ€� the best dog, and I’ve owned some good ones myself. There’s nothing prettier than strong, wiry pointer doublinâ€� and turninâ€� in the brush and freezinâ€� to a steady point. But for my own part, give me a well-bred Llewellyn setter; they’re the humanist dog they is. They’ve got the bird sense, too. Oh, you can’t beat ‘em.”
