Puppy’s First Fetch

My wolfhound puppy was six months old and 100 pounds when his trainer taught him to fetch in a large veterinaryclinic lobby. The trainer would tell him to get the ball and reward him when he returned with it. He repeated this several times. He then threw the ball twenty feet. It rebounded down a long corridor. The trainer said, “Fetch!” and the puppy ran after it—and returned five minutes later carrying a walker with two tennis balls on its legs. —William Poznanski toledo, ohio
