I originally saw this story on Dogster's for the love of dog blog and then again this morning it was mentioned on Good Morning America, so I thought I should share it all with you. Donna Gardener is the owner of a very smart chocolate lab named Max. According to Donna, Max is more like a human than a dog on most days and certainly showed that when he rescued himself from a hot car. Donna had taken Max with her on a trip to the store, she returned home, went inside the house and started cleaning...forgetting Max in the car. After an hour she heard the car horn blowing, she went outside to see who it was when she found Max in the driver's seat of the hot car blowing the horn. Donna rushed to the car, got Max out and brought him inside where he collapsed. She gave him water and cooled him down and contacted the vet. He suffered from heat exhaustion, but was fine considering how bad it could have been. Donna still wonders why she forgot he was even with her, I'm sure she won't ever again.
So for all of you who say chocolate's are only bred for color, think about Max before you say it next time.
