True story: I had a dog who loved to fetch sticks. We were walking down near a river after a flood. He looked so proud when he fetched a “stick”- it was an old gum tree uprooted and being swept downstream in floodwaters. Diameter was about 2-3 metres where he had hold of it, probably 30 metres plus in height. Dog would have gone either way it to the ocean (35-40 km by river).
Good boy!
