Tug Boat Patty
-
Ray Fogg used
to swim with his yellow Lab “Patty” during the dog days of
summer. Occasionally he would grasp her tail and hold on as she
towed him around. The icy cold waves of water that washed over
he and Patty on a December day in Maine, however, were something
else entirely. Dumped overboard from his sinking duck hunting
boat and struggling to stay afloat, Ray wondered if his Labrador
could tug him to safety before he drowned. Click

to be the canine equivalent of a cross between Brad Pitt,
Einstein and Superman-he’s got the looks, intelligence and the
uncanny knack for performing tasks and lifesaving feats just
when he’s needed the most. This gifted yellow Lab has been
filmed by more TV crews than he probably cares to remember.
In addition to a string of awards, on February 21st
2003, he received the UK’s Coolest Canine Award. Click
