My Labrador Retriever did not volunteer to leave her mom and sibs. But she seems to have fallen in love with me and my better half. We drafted a cow for dinner last night. The lab drafted a bowl of Purina Pro Plan and a very unwilling bowl of water. I think we'll draft a chicken tonight or maybe a pizza.
We have a Lab, too. And it's debateable who owns who ::lol::.

My Lab not only volunteered to leave her siblings, she flung herself on the feet of my children and started licking their knees (as high as she could reach at that time). We drafted a salmon for dinner, she drafted her usual AvoDerm Chicken & Rice, but she got tidbits of salmon as well.
As you can see, she's a very patriotic dog, and will serve her country gladly as soon as they need somebody who can lick faces, retrieve bumpers, and run agility courses . . . :-D
