I had a black lab named Whiskey and he would always pick random stuff off the table or floor and bring em to me. I figured I'll see how far I can milk this so I started to point at things and say "bring it", to my surprise he did! Fast forward a few weeks and I taught the little dude to bring me beer without damaging it by biting through the can. He got exceptionally good at it and even understood that when someone passes him a beer he needs to bring it to the person that calls out "bring it". Anyway, one day we set up camp at the beach and all of the sudden I can't find Whiskey... I start calling for him and lo and behold he shows up with a six pack of beer in his mouth and drops it at my feet. We burst out laughing, best dog ever!
Your turn...
