On my walk today

I encountered a dog who was doing a much better job of climbing a tree than I would have expected.

My nephew had a similar experience with his new dog. It is part labrador. They didn't realize it was part Catahoula till after it had shown it's chops as a canine Houdini by repeatedly escaping from it's pen when they had to go out for errands.

The tree-climbing dog I mentioned below was a part Lab mongrel.
