Harley Is Just Very Proud Of His Latest Catch
Via @debmanlock on TikTok:
I understand that when I told him off it was confusing for him at the time. That 200th comment really hit the nail on its head. No need to mention it! Also yes he is a retriever, as some of you have helpfully pointed out! But retrieving a live animal isn’t something I particularly like!

Brittany Davis longed for a big dog, and she had her heart set on one of the largest and lankiest of all: a Great Dane.She got her wish in February 2020, though it was not how she thought it would happen. Her brother, Garrett Davis, knocked on her door and handed her a 3-month-old, gray-and-white American Great Dane with floppy jowls and soft fur.Her brother got him from a friend whose dog had recently had a litter of five. The pup weighed about 25 pounds, and Davis’s eyes immediately focused on his enormous paws.Davis said she knew early on that Zeus was going to be a supersized dog because of his huge paws. He also had an enormous appetite.“He’s always loved to eat, and now he’s up to 10 to 12 cups of dry food twice a day,” she said, adding that Zeus also loves to chomp on carrots, fried eggs, deer antlers and ice cubes.“He especially loves to steal my son’s breakfast when he leaves it out,” said Davis, who has two boys, Jamison, 15, and Kingston, 7 months.

Guide Dog Fails And Dropouts
Via CatersClips
When I meet Eddie, a yellow Labrador, at a friend’s family barbecue in Detroit, it’s clear he isn’t like other dogs. He knows how to sit, stay and walk (on- or off-leash), but his best trick is being able to read a room. Whether his role is to greet a guest, play with children or rest his head on my lap as we drink beers by the bonfire, Eddie always does the right thing. All the while, he’s never a nerd about his intrinsic obedience. “Dude, what’s your dog’s deal?” I eventually ask Delia Bryan, Eddie’s owner and a family friend.
“He’s a guide-dog-school reject,” she tells me.
“Less than 5 percent of dogs are cut out for service-dog work, and many ‘wash out’ during training,” says Nicole Ellis, a certified dog trainer and pet expert with Rover.com. Ellis estimates that guide-dog students who are trained by their owners instead of schools have about a 20 to 30 percent success rate, whereas dogs who are trained through institutions have a success rate of around 50 percent. The attrition rate is higher than most colleges and companies because people’s lives depend on these dogs making the right decisions. So they aren’t exactly set up for failure, but many of them will due to the nature of the work.“We don’t say the F-word. We prefer ‘reassigned,’ ‘career-changed’ or perhaps ‘withdrawn,’” says Rob Clarke, the owner of Maddie, a black Lab, who was withdrawn from training after being used to breed other guide dogs. By the time she was done having puppies and training to be a guide dog, Maddie was almost 3 years old and set in her ways. “She was too used to me and not confident in her trainer,” Clarke explains.
