The Oxford English Dictionary defines “stream of thought” as a literary style in which a character’s thoughts, feelings and reactions are depicted in a continuous flow uninterrupted by objective description or conventional dialogue. This is what happens to your brain after several hours of sitting in a duck or goose blind.

Why is the Bulldog–not the easiest dog to care for, nor the most likely to participate in outdoor or athletic activities–ranked #8? What accounts for the French Bulldog’s meteoric rise to #2?
