Wow!  The drinking water video surprised me!  I'm wondering if Winston didn't get the memo of how dog's are SUPPOSED to drink, because he sure makes a mess!!!!!

wow, that video of the dog drinking was cool........I love slowmo videos........ .lol.

I would have never guessed that's how they get a drink.  I would have liked to see several dogs taped to see if they all drink the same way.  I know Keiko does it that way b/c she drink the same way that dog does.  But only about 3-4 inches of tongue come out when Gunther drinks so either he's really talented or it's a bit different.  He's not messy, either.

Ooops, forgot to add..........I've seen danes being used as service dogs before.  A couple of shows on Animal Planet a few years ago highlighted them.  One was for a similar problem....mob ility related.  The other was I think "That's My Baby" show and it was following a certain dane puppy that was to be evaluated for service work.
