This just in from fellow Dallasite Matt Miller: “One of my roommates in law school had a yellow lab that–I swear I am not making this up–he trained to fetch beer from the fridge. The dog would only fetch bottles, we had to tie a towel around the fridge door so that the dog could pull it open, we had to put the beer in the same place in the fridge, and the dog still only got it right about half the time, but it was the single greatest trick I’ve ever seen. If that’s not reason enough to get a dog, then I don’t know what to tell you.”
