Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive,
and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Lifedoggie!

I found this article on Huffington Post about lifeguard doggies in Italy. How awesome! Look at those lil guys all ready to go save some lives.

“They leap from helicopters or speeding boats, bringing aid to swimmers who get into trouble off Italy’s popular beaches. These “lifedogs” wear a harness or tow a buoy that victims can grab, or a raft they can sit on to be towed back to shore, and unlike their human counterparts, they can easily jump from helicopters and speeding boats to reach swimmers in trouble. The dog becomes a sort of intelligent lifebuoy. It is a buoy that goes by itself to a person in need of help, and comes back to the shore also by himself, choosing the best landing point and swimming through the safest currents. Being retrievers, they do not associate it with a physical activity, but it is rather a game for them.”

I wonder if Jack could be a life doggie? Something tells me no.
