A "bye dog" as it is called will come to the line, all the marks will be thrown and the " bye dog" (usually the test dog) will be sent to retrieve the Go-Bird in order for the working dog to Honor another dog's work. A "bye dog" is used to keep all things fair so the last dog to run before a gun change does not have to sit on the Honor mat a longer period of time than the other dogs in contention.
