Like most fur brothers and sisters, Bob the dog has a favorite toy that rarely leaves his side. He loves this toy so much that one day he dove into the deep end of his human pack's pool, corkscrewing eight feet down to the bottom to retrieve it.

I was floating one day in the pool and he dropped it in the pool, and I wasn't going to get it until I get out. I told him that, and he looked at me like, 'I don't need you' and did it. [Kristie Navarrette, Bob's Human Mama]

Now this feat is amazing for two reasons: 1) us dogs tend to be more than a little buoyant and 2) most of us dogs try to avoid that evil wet stuff as much as possible. In my case, the evil water is usually followed by sawing the tips of my sharp nails off while shooting me with lots of warm air. Humans are so weird!

Anyhowl, Bob has become quite the local celebrity and has even found stardom on YouTube. Not bad for a stray mutt with humble beginnings. Way to go fur dude! I'm still trying to find my special talent.
