Many of us have dogs and they've all done cool stuff. Tell us an anecdote (a dog tale). 
What brought my mind to this was two-fold. First, Squerly lost his dog Shep
I'm sure the 2 of them had some good times and stories. The second is when I got my current dog so here's the story.
My dog is a lab mix (with Australian Shepard?) She loves to herd anything that moves but still has the traditional characteristics of a Lab (like killing every bird she can catch).
When I first met her, she was in a barn with horses and cows and got along great with them. If she was given a treat (Milk Bones dog bones in particular), she would take it in her mouth, barely hanging on so most of it was sticking out in front of her nose then bolted off to a cow, put her head through the stanchion and her cow buddies would come up and take the Milk Bones out of her mouth. It was so gentle and looked like they were kissing. That's just cool in my book. She was never trained to do that, she just did.
That dog is off the farm and in our house (for 8+ years now). She's still friggin' cool like that. She loves me but all children better. If I grab a kid, she'll grab my arm (we do it in fun, just to let kids know not to be afraid of the dog).
