Coolest job for a dog - Boise State tee-retriever

This is the coolest thing ever. I caught this while the Idaho Famous Potato Bowl (seriously?) was on the TV at a bar and found this on Youtube later. Whoever thought this up is a genius. Think it would work in tennis?

Oh, yes, I can see pro tennis players being thrilled about being handed tennis balls covered in dog slobber. :wink:

The minor league baseball team here has a couple of Labradors that fetch the dropped bats after a player gets a hit. They also take little buckets of new balls out the the umpire when he needs them.

I like it. I also like the Potato Bowl. It’s a throwback to the good old days of the Orange, Sugar and Peach bowls that promoted local agriculture and actually represented a region. Better than the fucking Insight Bowl, Beef ‘O’ Brady Bowl, Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl and the Godaddy.com Bowl.

I just hope the dog handler doesn’t miss a long return in the making, and send the dog out there prematurely to get plastered by a bunch of football players (or conversely the dog seizes a fumble and plays keep-away for the next half hour). :slight_smile:

Chuckle. Based on that clip, it does look like the handler waits for the kickoff return to be blown dead before he sends the dog out on the field.
