He looks so ready to go rescue someone. I loved the story.

Edited because I've lost my brain.

That is so cool.  I love the pic of him, so important looking, how can anyone drown when he is on the job.

That is a great story to read, although it makes total sense.  Newfs are born to do that, it just takes a little training to get them to understand these skills that they naturally have.  On a funny side note, not that I was looking for it, but if you look closely in the picture of Bilbo, his lipstick is hanging out.  Yuck!  Do all Newfs do that?  I know they can't help it, but I really don't care to see my dog's wacker every time he sits. 

Also, did you guys click on the first link that Zenna gave that had the story about the artist Ron Mueck?  Those figures he creates are so real and scary looking, creepy stuff.  They look human!
