No matter how intelligent dogs are, we always expect their owners to be at least a little bit smarter. But I think I’ve found the exception to the rule.

Here the human expects his dog to jump into his swampy green pool to retrieve a ball. We can see the dog wants his toy so badly, but he’s much too smart to swim in that green goop for it!

Instead he runs around to find a pool float and manages to paddle out to his precious plaything. He gets the toy and he doesn’t get wet. Score one to this clever canine!
