We've had our dog for 8 years, and he never ceases to amaze me. Today he, my dd and I were outside playing fetch. He's not a retriever, so he doesn't typically let go of the fetching object without a fight. He might drop it at your feet, but if you go to grab it, he'll grab it first. Then it turns into a tug-of-war.
So I threw it a couple times and, like always, he fought me for possession. Then my dd decided to have a go, and as soon as she came over to play, he dropped it at her feet. Then she picked it up and threw it (sort of), and the dog walked a couple steps, picked it up and dropped it for her again. As soon as it was my turn to play, it was tug-of-war again. How the heck do they know who they need to be gentle with and who can handle a fight? Amazing! He got lots of kisses from me today.
