1. SPEAKING OF HERO DOGS, DID YOU CATCH THIS ONE WHO RESCUED A DISCARDED INFANT GIRL??

   WE’RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO DESERVE DOGS:

2. That reminds me of the guy on the Indians (I think) in the early ‘50’s who was a midget. He came to bat and was walked because the strike zone was minuscule. The league then passed a rule saying such a thing was not allowed. I think that dog would fall in the same category.

   Maybe if it were a horse?

3. I had a couple that you could throw three tennis balls then a Frisbee and send them. They would catch the Frisbee, lay it upside down and gather up the balls, put them in the Frisbee and bring all three balls and the Frisbee to hand.

   One of the above would demand you drop her leash on the ground then would double it over, double it again, double it a couple more times, pick it up and Cary it herself at heal. Both of the above had thousands of pheasants shot over them.

   Both were self taught independently on the above. They never to my knowledge had seen another dog do that. The smart ones the sky is damn near the limit.

   What I am still just dumbstruck by though is how they can be coming in with a bird in their mouth, whip around and drop that bird and pick up another scent, run the bird down and flush it. Then bring both to hand. How the hell can a bird smell another bird when it is packing one in her mouth is beyond my comprehension.

4. @RadioMattM: Eddie Gaedel, St. Louis Browns. The story is that Eddie actually swung at one pitch, and the manager came unglued.

5. JD, must be one is a dead scent, the other is a live scent. Do they smell different, I don’t know, but those dogs are unbelievable.

   3’7”, Eddie Gaedel, weighed 67 pounds. His career didn’t last long. Maybe 1951.

9. Ain’t nothin like a heeler. Had mine trained to go to the cooler, open it, and bring me a beer. Never could get her to close the cooler, though.

10. That dog looked so excited to play.
    Thanks for the break from our daily dose of govt corruption

11. I bet the dog is working on hitting the curveball next. Who’s in the market for a good leftie DH …?

12. Only problem is that after he steals second base, he tries to run off and bury it.

13. I’ve had two heelers and they are remarkable dogs.
    Charley was 5 weeks old when I got him. He started nipping at my ankles when he was 8 weeks old. He was smart and tough and had the best sense of humor.
    Ranger was a re-home. He’d been mistreated as a pup, but the woman we got him from did a lot of work with him. He was smart and tough and the sweetest dog.
    Funny thing is, Charley wouldn’t pass any spherical object without looking at me to throw it to him-tennis ball, soccer ball, watermelon and Ranger didn’t care at all about chasing a ball. He would, however, expect treats at any time of the day or night!
    We miss them both

14. Since this video is 15 years old and Jerry looked a little old at the time, he is no longer in the running, but he would have been a good pitcher.
