Newfs Falling from the Sky!
My granny sent me this story about Newfs (and Labbies) working the beaches of Italy! No, not in bikinis (darn it!) but as rescue dogs, sometimes being dropped by helicopters to save those helpless humans.
Scores of specially trained dogs have been deployed as lifeguards on Italy's busiest beaches this summer.
The dogs, mostly of the Newfoundland or Labrador breeds, are trained to jump out of helicopters and boats and swim to the rescue of struggling swimmers.
They are credited with having saved several lives by taking lifebuoys to swimmers and towing them to safety.
Hmmm...I think we'd better go check this out! Nanook & Pooka, the Newfs of Hazard, Dory & Mac, and Bear--let's go to Italy and find out what's going on on these beaches. Road trip! Bring your bikinis!

Think of how you'd feel, out in the open sea, bobbing along trying to stay afloat... and it starts raining Newfies! Whoa! That's like a weird psychedelic flashback.
Goober love,
