That is a great story!

By the looks of the dog I don’t think she will be chasing birds anytime soon! Glad all turned out fine.

Have to wonder if that dog now thinks before he leaps.

We had a tough male German Shephard named Sarge while in college. Sarge was on the veranda when a couple of us where cleaning it off. One guy tossed a stick off the roof. Sarge went after it. We looked at each other then looked over the edge. Sarge was pulling himself out of a bush. He found the stick and brought it back up. Curious, one of the guys threw the stick off the roof again. Sarge ran over to the edge, stopped, and looked back as if to say, "Fool me once ...."

Another story. A college friend died several years ago, leaving his wife and 3 young kids. Mom decided a puppy would do the family well. A few weeks after they got the pup we were all in the front yard. The pup ran across the street. One of the kids called it back, just as a pickup came barreling down the road. My gut wrenched as the puppy ran across the road under the moving pickup ... unscathed to the near side. The dog got this terrified look on his face and shuddered. I think we all did the same. Considering the timing it would have been horrible if he had been hit. I think my friend was watching over the puppy that day.

The sit command came in handy with my Newfoundland many times. Even if he was running he would immediately sit – looked like a cartoon character sliding on his bum across the lawn. Should be taught to every dog.

thats a long fall. im surprised he survived

I know I wouldn't survive that kinda fall, that's an amazing story.
