found shovel

[jrwill56]

Thought I would share this with you all.On thanksgiving day iI took my grandson out metal detecting,and he lost my small spade,we looked and looked but could not find it.Since then I have been back several times,but no luck. So I decided to get a few min.searching the same site before the Super Bowl Sun.morning. I decided to take my sons black lab with me to let her run. while I was detecting and digging with another shovel the dog walks up to me and lays my lost spade at my feet.How can this dog know it was my spade,when I was not using it when it was lost,and it has been in the elements for over 45 days?

I have a black lab/setter mix. He may be the best dog I've ever had. Loves, kids,people and doughnuts! Stawart guard and sounds 10 feet tall when needed! FYI some dogs have the most amazing nose. Hard to believe huh? Your dog prob could have been an A-1 drug or bomb dog.

Dogs just know these things.

The nose knows.

The reason your dog found that spade is because you touched it at one time or another.
When you where out in that location your dog got your scent off of it and picked it up,
maybe bringing it over to you like a game of toss would consist.
Dogs noses are up to 100x better than ours and they never forget smells.

Or your dog just found something random and brought it over to you
either way its a good doggy!!

Yip i agree with the scent still on the spade. Remarkable that it happened tho. Good doggie, hope you gave him a good massage for his troubles and a big old bone.
