bird dog
Setter or spaniel
A bird dog is a dog bred and trained to locate game birds for hunters, pointing or flushing them from cover.
The term extends to people who perform similar scouting functions: someone who finds sales leads, locates real estate deals, or spots talent for others.
As a verb, to bird-dog means to watch closely or persistently pursue: He bird-dogged the project until it was finished.
