Then you watch that greenhead dive. I stand up and smile and say "that duck just fucked up"
Watching brown dog get to where bird dove. Start spinning circles, re-acquire when it surfaces, bird dives again, then brown dog disappears for 3-4 seconds and always emerges with a duck clamped in mouth by its ass.
That's what it's about.

A diving dog is pretty neat. But a solid, hard-charging dog hitting a standing goose at full speed is a sight to behold. Or jumping up to catch a wounded bird out of the air. I get a chub just typing it.
