Our guy was in a world of his own off the leash. The only time I saw him respond to my husband is when we were walking around a reservoir close to our house. We came upon a young mother with a baby in a stroller surrounded by quite a few very pissed off Canadian geese. The mom was terrified and the baby was screaming. Ollie stood there looking at my husband who said” Go get ‘em boy”. The resulting mayhem was hilarious. Lickity split he had those geese literally running in the other direction honking their fat asses off. Canadian geese are not easily intimidated. He was our little hero that day.

Great story! Yay!

I’ve often wondered if I could put mine to work down at Sea-Tac airport; they’ve hired dogs to keep birds away, and mine LOVES to go after birds. He barks at them and chases them…and on the beach, he loves to scare the seagulls away.

Once, I was saying to him, “Lou! Get the birdie! Get the birdie!” (just a game we play to get him to run around) and he came around the corner with a bird in his mouth. I screamed like I was in a horror movie; my friend had to come get it and make sure it was not suffering and get rid of it - yikes. (Only happened once.)
