Would have been better to have had Michael and Tequila see which one could jump further into the pool!

But it does remind me of a "this is no shit" story;
Years ago at a rendezvous, we were all camped by a pond. One of our people was at the time training retrievers, professionally. He had one of his dogs with him, and was working with the dog, throwing a dummy out in the water and sending the dog out after it.
My wife was watching this, and had our St. Bernard, Bruno, on a leash. Bruno watches this procedure several times, and then when the retrieving dummy got thrown again, he broke loose from the wife, raced the Lab through the water to the dummy, won the race, brought the dummy back to shore in his mouth, and instead of giving it to Monica, brought it 200 yards back to camp to deliver it to me.
