I have heard of amazing stories about dogs saving lives and surviving near death experiences, what story have you got about a dog or your dog? I found out a long time ago what the top 10 most smartest dogs are, and the number 1 spot went to Border Collies, what a lovely breed of dog they are!

This is not on any heroic scale...but I thought it was pretty amazing. My folks have a bulldog named Alice. Most of us animal lovers will say our pets are almost human.:)-but Alice comes the closest. Before I moved out, when Alice was just about 6 months old, I was very very ill with a respiratory virus. On all kinds of medication and just miserable. One day when I was feeling particularly down, Alice started bringing me her toys. All her toys. Not to play with, mind you, she just piled them up at my feet, one after the other. I guess she thought her toys would make me feel better. She loves to play with balls-one afternoon it was raining pretty hard, and Alice wanted to go play with her big basketball out in the yard. When my mother refused to let her-she's a white dog and the yard was full of mud-Alice went to her toy box, dug out a small stuffed basketball she hardly ever touches and brought it to my mom at the door. "Don't you silly humans understand? I want to play with the thing that looks like this outside!" She's done the same thing when she wanted a plastic Easter egg she couldn't have...got out an egg shaped toy from her box and brought it to trade. And from what I understand...bulldogs do not rank high on the "Smartest Dog" list. But Alice proves otherwise again and again... Now my dog on the other hand...she's too smart for her ow good, but she's a whole 'nuther chapter...

What a "cute" story :) I love dogs, they are all beautiful and very very smart. I wish i had one, but i don't have the time, money or the stability. Hopefully 1 day i will have one.
