Pets Old Dog Fetch

Old Dog Fetch · 08:54 PM

Okay, this requires some explanation:

The dog is old...and awesome. The man in the foreground is throwing the tennis ball for him. The dog is fetching it (with a little geriatric limp) and then rolling it down the hill back to the man and waiting for him to throw it again. I watched them do this for about 20 minutes and I suspect it's not their first time.

Smart dog, he's not running around all over the place, who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks...

Very smart dog. Stand uphill, roll the ball down to your hooman. Repeat. Smart dog looks like a Border collie, so the "smart" is redundant. Great scene, thanks.

He didn't seem to see particularly well either. He listened for the ball and then skittered after it. Really fun watching them. That's my son in the red sweatshirt who was really getting a kick out of it.
