14th June 2010 Coles Bay

We were walking along the beach into Coles Bay. Vanessa was trying to get Zed, her big Labrador, to carry a small log that would have been close to 10kg. It is a form of exercise that Zed likes.

From the other end of the beach, about 300 metres away, this fearless maniac looking dog came sprinting straight at us. I haven’t seen a dog run so fast since Ella, a whippet who used to live with me, was in her youth. He wasn’t wary in the least of Zed and Chai (Chai is another Labrador); he zoomed straight between them. He zoomed around like an elite athlete; Zed and Chai didn’t have a hope of keeping up.

Then he picked up the log that Zed was struggling with and sprinted back down the beach, 300 metres, as though the log weighed nothing.
