The other dog in the picture is Jack, a friend's 4 yr old lab/golden mix. In that picture he is teaching Duncan how to swim. For some reason, even though he has webbed feet, Duncan did not know how to swim! He didn't move his back legs and had to be pulled out of the river twice!! He's got it down pat now, after following Jack and taking a few rides to shore on Jack's tail end!!
Duncan does have an interesting tail! Very bushy and thick! It throws everyone off when they are playing "Guess what breeds he is" Does Lady have a thick tail like that? That is always wagging?!
