My name is Goodspeed T. Beiler, my friends and close colleagues just call me GS for short. You can call me Mr. Beiler or just Sir in a pinch, better if you just stay out of my way I am a very busy canine. Those from out of town or when I’m traveling won’t realize who I am. And that’s most definitely intentional, they won’t know that the plainly dressed anthro is the owner of the Beiler & Cabrillo Cattle ranch. One of the largest cattle and sheep ranches in Kansas operated by my family for close to 100 years now. I am sadly now the sole proprietor other than one silent partner. Most outside of my small circle, see me drive up to the hardware store in my rather beat up ranch truck wouldn’t realize, I own the hardware store and the ones in all the other counties and towns around here. Even the newspaper now that I think of it, they wrote a rather unflattering story about a good friend of mine and I took some exception to that. Much easier to control the local gossip mills when the head editor knows who signs his paychecks.
I don’t say this to show off or even build myself up, only to illustrates why I so value my privacy and anonymity. To help maintain this, I don’t drive a fancy car or even own one for that matter. The ranch trucks have served me well. I also make sure how I dress is always kept low-key. No fancy, suits, no fancy watches when Timex takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Just one slight rub, i’m not a perfect canine, I have my faults, unfortunately one of them is I am unfortunately color blind. Fate truly must’ve had a good laugh about making a black and white canine have a fairly reduced sense of color palettes. Nowadays enlist the help of my employees or good friends to make sure I am maintaining my low-key appearance after one or two unfortunate instances of bad purchases.

It is true that the wisdom of "the quieter you go - the further you will go" concerns stealth, but it also applies in everyday life...
A great reference to the limitations of color vision through the dog's eye... Wait, he drives a truck? How! After all, he will not see a red light on a traffic light?!

As far as traffic lights go, he just knows beige at the top means stop, slightly darker beige at the bottom means go. If that’s not scary enough also check some of his other biographical pics, he’s also a pilot.

Right, I remember the GS artwork like a pilot. In the case of traffic lights, I can understand it, but as a pilot I cannot imagine the situation: "hmmmm, is this the top of the mountain or maybe a cloud?" [you have 0.9 seconds to react]

I think there’s a couple things to remember, one he got his pilots license before the FAA even existed, right around 1920. So regulations were far less stringent to say the least. Two being colorblind doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t have depth perception or that you see things completely black and white. It just means he doesn’t necessarily see the full range of colors or they are muted. As for taking the eye test to become a military pilot in 1942, he cheated.
