Golden Retriever Lands Job As 'Fishing Guide' and Totally Nails the Role
Is there anything that Golden Retrievers can't do? These gorgeous, remarkably intelligent dogs almost never fail to impress. And the Golden Retriever in this video, who shows that he is a grade A "fishing guide," is no exception. From catching fish, to steering the boat, jumping off a cliff, and even taking on a scorpion - there's nothing this "fishing guide" can't do. Not to mention that when this good boy's cheeks flap in the wind as the boat cruises along, it's pretty much as adorable as can be!Obviously, this particular Golden Retriever is an exceptionally talented dog. He can drive and park a boat for crying out loud. Is there anything this guy can't do? As this other video shows, not only is this amazing golden retriever highly competent out on the water, but he is also easily the "coolest guy out in the parking lot." Before they even hit the water, it's obvious that this canine is the real deal. Just look at the way he comes face-to-face with that duck or how he catches so many fish with ease. And once the ride gets rough and bumpy out on the water, this handsome dog is not fazed at all, taking each and every bump in stride as he lays back and relaxes on the backseat, just chilling and enjoying the boat ride. There are good boys, good dogs, and then there are dogs that are professional good boys, just like this guy. He should really be the star of his own commercial or movie. He doesn't always catch fish, but when he does, he prefers to catch them in the open water, because he's the most interesting dog in the world! Looking for more PetHelpful updates?

Warning to check microchip details or face fine
Cat and dog owners have been warned to microchip their pets, and make sure the details are correct, or risk facing a fine worth hundreds of pounds. It comes after Violet Cooper, from Dilton Marsh in Westbury, Wiltshire, was fined nearly £850 for failing to update the details on the database of her dog's microchip. Juliet, her chow chow-type dog, was found by a member of the public in August 2024. Considered a stray, it was taken to a local vets to await collection by Wiltshire Council's Dog Warden team. Ms Cooper, 38, soon arrived in search of her dog and was issued with a notice requiring her to update the microchip details within 21 days, but she failed to do so. Last week she was found guilty at Salisbury Magistrates Court of failing to comply with the notice and was fined £220, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said. Costs of £539.59 awarded to Wiltshire Council, along with a victim surcharge of £88, brought the total in fines to £847.59. It became compulsory for all dogs to be microchipped in April 2016, and for cats in 2023. Councillor Paul Sample of Wiltshire Council said: "Microchipping a cat or dog is a permanent way of identifying your pet if they get lost or stolen. "If your pet goes missing, our officers can scan the microchip and get them home safely. "Hopefully, this outcome will act as a costly reminder to all dog or cat owners to ensure that their pet is microchipped and that details on the chip are up-to-date. "We will not hesitate to prosecute those who fail to comply." Follow BBC Wiltshire on Facebook, X and Instagram. Send your story ideas to us on email or via WhatsApp on 0800 313 4630.
