Nelson Saves The Baby

Newfoundland dogs are good to save children from drowning, but you must have a pond of water handy and a child, or else there will be no profit in boarding a Newfoundland.

-Josh Billings (American humorist, 1818-1885)

Oh, no! The baby fell into the boat basin! Whatever shall we do?

Nelson doesn't waste a second: "This is a job for a Newfoundland dog!"

"Don't panic, everyone- I'll save her!"

"I've got her- meet me at the boat ramp with blankets!"

Keeping her head above water is hard work.

"No need to thank me, ma'am. I'm just doing my job."
