Like the Heimlich? You betcha!
We've always known that dogs are smart, but check this story out. This 2 year old golden retriever performed the Heimlich on his owner and saved her life!

I overheard Mowpea saying that they, too, have "saved" me a few times by eating useless substances such as cookies etc. that I shouldn't be consuming. Umm...yar, clever alsolah...

SO CLEVER!

oh no! clever-er than me!

ps: you KNOW i meant the golden retriever right? NOT Mowpea :p

Mowpea's got the concept right. They always jump on our chests. Except we're not choking on anything when they do it.

Mowpea said...

Quite true, I think they just need some tuition classes. Only THEN they will know what they're really doing is saving our lives and not pouncing on us for no apparent reason. Ah nothing...

Yue-li said...

Ah but i think Mowpea will be absolutely brilliant Heimlich-ers.

Jump on chest of person choking. Person spits food out. Mowpea gobbles food up.

Hey, yar, pretty good incentive yar? :-D

The goldie is so cuddly looking.
Sure it's not human in a fur suit?

Heeheee... Mowpea sounds more like a self-sacrificing nutritionist.

Wow, golden retrievers don't have the best reputation in the smarts department. This one must be special wan.

I think the other neat trick that Mowpea can do is 'wake grandma' (although grandma probably doesn't agree).

KEWP!

But Goldens are very smart wan! Really!

Yes, Wake Grandma Up is really entertaining. Will have to catch that on video one of these days. Grandma isn't too pleased about the neat trick though-hehe!
