Dog loves sticks

[go high fast]

So we are cruising in the boat this weekend about 35 MPH and we pass a big stick floating in the water which the dog spots. Without hesitation he jumps out of the boat at 35 MPH to fetch the stick. I swing back and pick him up by his colar. He is completely unphazed.

Later that day on the dock another big stick about 6 feet long is floating by so he jumps in to fetch the stick. While swimming back to shore the end of the stick gets snagged on the boat-lift. He will not let go of the stick and starts to struggle terribly. Kids start yelling and screaming and crying. As he becomes more and more exhausted he continues to ignore my calls and refuses to let go of the stick. I have to jump in the water to dislodge the stick from the boat-lift. He swims to shore triumphantly with stick in month.

Unbelievable.

Funny stuff

A buddy of mine had a yellow lab that would do the same thing. He found himself in a lot of predicaments with raging rivers. Can't tell you how many times he got sucked under current and we thought he was a gonner. Best part is after we got done saving him, he wonders off and does it again. Gotta love dogs.

so is that his name "unbelievable"
your saying you don't have to tell him "fetch the stick boy"

His name is Buddy.

He does not have to be told to fetch the stick. He looks out for them and then goes after them on his own without any command of any kind.

It would be foolish to command your dog to jump out of a boat while cruising.

I have a dog that you can show her a Rock and throw it into the deep part of the river and she will find the exact rock that you threw in and bring it back. I think that she hates rocks!!!!LOL Dogs are funny
