Okay, I am bragging
Last Friday, I was walking with Anna, my three dogs (Emma, Beau, Shadow) and her one dog (Spring) all off leash at the park. It was pouring rain, but they all needed the exercise, so we donned rain gear and walked. We weren't really paying attention to our dogs all that much and were looking down (because of the aforementioned monsoon).
All of a sudden, I saw what looked like an altercation between Emma and Shadow. Sometimes Emma gets snippy if one of the boys crashes into her by accident and Shadow was backing away. Then I saw what was really going on - Emma had a baby ground hog in her mouth and was shaking it!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!
I SCREAMED in pure panic - "EMMA COME!"......
And lo and behold, she dropped the groundhog, raced to me, with an innocent, "What's up mommy?" look on her face! All four dogs came as well and of course I heavily reinforced everyone for coming and then they all stayed with us as we continued on our walk! Not one of them even thought about trying to find the groundhog.
All I can say is Wow.

Wow -- Wow. . .and wow!
You should be bragging! That's impressive. Years ago my Samoyed did the same thing -- my neighbor was walking him so I didn't see it. He didn't respond the way Emma did.
