I think we should first guess the other Animal words, since it's likely that our spymaster simply overlooked DOG's presence. BEAR and OCTOPUS should both be red. The third intended word could be either CHICK or BUCK, but at that point I'd rather guess one of our three Destination words, which presumably would be CZECH, LOCH NESS, and INDIA.

Well, we can pick up one of those words with our +1 this round imo.
So my vote would be Czech, India, Stadium. ( i have no clue about LOCH NESS... thought that was basically Only the "loch ness monster" ) but i can side with people that probably know if its an actual place.
AS far as our +1 if we get that far, ( or want to guess our +1 off the bat ) i vote Chick, because Buck is likely still blue.

In this game that's going to help us because he's going to go to the negotiating table with twitchy eyes and slightly too wide a grin and terrify the neighbors into favorable border agreements, one-sided tech deals and staggered NAPs."
-Old Harry. PB48.
I know I said it last time, but I'm pretty sure this is CZECH/LOCH NESS/INDIA, with STADIUM as an outside possibility (instead of CZECH). I suppose BEAR is our safest +1?
After reading spoilers:
@superdeath: Loch Ness is a lake in Scotland, supposedly the home of the Loch Ness monster and a popular tourist destination.
@El Grillo: I hadn't thought about guessing multiple Animal words this round, but there's a logic to it. First, I doubt Bob "overlooked" DOG, just judged that we would guess it no matter what he clued, and it was an acceptable setback. I agree that BEAR/OCTOPUS plus one of CHICK/BUCK are our most likely Animal words. We must win next round, so we can only afford one more misfire, and it must happen this round, not next. How should we play it?
1. INDIA/LOCH NESS/CZECH/BEAR - The safe play, guessing the Destination words first. If these are the words we're most confident in, then we're not using the opportunity we have for a misfire this round, and leaving all the hard decisions to the next round.
2. BEAR/OCTOPUS/CHICK/CZECH - The risky play. Will tell us, one way or another, what our three Animal words are. Ends with CZECH as the Destination word I am least confident in. The drawback of guessing CHICK this round is that it tells blue team whether BUCK is a safe Gold guess on their next round.
3. BEAR/OCTOPUS/INDIA/CZECH - A middle ground. Hopefully gets us two words for each clue, and confirms OCTOPUS and CZECH, which are in slight doubt. Doesn't tip off blue team about BUCK.
