Paws for thought: Stranded Ben sits patiently as he waits to be rescued after his dramatic fall over the side of a cliff.

What a sweet little puppy. It’s really wonderful that he was reunited with his owner after all that.

A parallel thought ...

This pooch has about the same brain power as most of the protesters. Sit there and wait for someone else to help you.

Not to offend the pet here, but the de-elevate the human intelligence in the ‘occupy’ sit-ins these days.

Years ago I had a Brittany that ran off a 50 ft near vertical cliff above a sandy bottom. I got to where he went over and he was walking in the water. With a little encouragement he was able to find a way back up that much less steep. Surprisingly he was fine.

The rescue team, from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, tracked down Ben's owner - who was still looking for his pet...

"You found him where?"

What a little sweetie!! Just waiting there, probably thinking “someone will be along shortly to take me to my food bowl and sofa.”

My husband told me a funny story about our dog that I wish I had been around to see in person.

He was out hunting pheasants in one of our farm fields with our German Shorthair. Our dog is an avid and overly-excited hunter who literally bounces when she’s on the scent of birds.

Unbeknownst to my husband, a drainage tile had broken in this field and a six-foot deep sinkhole had formed.

So, there’s Belle about 30 yards in front of him bouncing along with joy...bounce, bounce, bounce....and then GONE!

He ran ahead to find her sitting at the bottom of the hole looking around like “what the heck?” I’m sure she NEVER saw it...LOL!
