My DD has a yellow lab, Charlie. He's about 1 1/2 years old and such a good dog. Let's the kids lean on him, the toddler pulls his fur, etc but he never snips or growls. Just looks at us like "help me"....
Anyway they took him with them to a friends new country house which happens to have a large deep pond in the back. Charlie saw it and took off, jumped in and kept swimming around. When he got tired he put his 2 front paws on the dock ladder, caught his breath, and took off again!
They couldn't get him out to go home.
They had table scraps, a bone, treats, etc. Nothing would get him out of the water.
So they left him at the friends house over night. They said he didn't come out for a couple more hours. Then he zonked out and slept all night.
This morning he whined at the back door till they opened it and off he ran back to the water.
Is this just Charlie or do Labs LOVE water?
