Phurba

Just looking through the dog-walking group's pictures (haven't been in ages, they have a habit of making the walks ages away from us ) and was reminded of Phurba, the Newfoundland we met. Very well-behaved, friendly and funny dog, and of course very beautiful. Taken with permission :

gorgeous

He's lovely

They are great, I meet a man that walks two of them on lead. The big male would love to get his paws on my fella but the owner has full control over them, it's great to see

What a stunner

Seeing these pictures just reminded me of something my brother and sister in laws old dog called Bullet did some years ago:

This isn't strictly speaking a joke but something very funny that happend to my brother and his wife whilst walking their New Foundland Dog along a beach one day.

All of a sudden the dog jumped into the water and was off looking for something out off the shoreline. Little did my brother know that the dog had seen a surfer in the water, I guess trying out some new moves. The dog must have thought the poor guy was drowning as he went and got hold of him and dragged him out of the ocean and up onto the beach to "Save him"

The surfer was absolutely amazed at what the dog had done and was very apologetic. Bullet the Newfoundland dog had never had any training in sea rescue but must have instinctly known what to do.

Just thought I would share.

That is really amazing tbh Kathy

That is amazing Kathy
