An avid duck hunter was in the market for a new
bird dog. His search ended when he found a dog
that could actually walk on water to retrieve a
duck. Shocked by his find, he was sure none of his
friends would ever believe him.

He decided to try to break the news to a friend of
his, a pessimist by nature, and invited him to
hunt with him and his new dog.

As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew
by. They fired, and a duck fell. The dog responded
and jumped into the water.

The dog, however, did not sink but instead walked
across the water to retrieve the bird, never
getting more than his paws wet. The friend saw
everything but did not say a single word.

On the drive home the hunter asked his friend,
"Did you notice anything unusual about my new
dog?" "I sure did," responded his friend. "He
can't swim.
