Scout the Portuguese Water Dog
1:37
Three Portuguese water dogs swim, bark, run around and retrieve a ball in the chilly and choppy waters of the Atlantic off Cadiz, Spain. In case you're not up to speed, this dog is on a short list of two, for White House pet. We didn't know what they were when we saw these enthusiastic swimmers apparently heading out to sea. Here's what Wikipedia has to say about them: Portuguese Water Dogs (PWD) are a breed of water dog similar to poodles. Portuguese Water Dogs once existed all along Portugal's coast, where they were taught to herd fish into fishermen's nets, to retrieve lost tackle or broken nets, and to act as couriers from ship to ship, or ship to shore. Portuguese Water Dogs rode in bobbing fishing trawlers as they worked their way from the warm Atlantic waters of Portugal to the frigid fishing waters off the coast of Iceland where the fleets caught saltwater codfish to bring home.
