Ok I'm in.

Heres the worlds smartest dog.

My wifes dog Kaiser.

We were haveing and early snowball fight during the first good snowfall of the year. It was a nice fun romantic little moment for me and my wife until, she loses her engagement ring. Now imagine her distress, and the houres of time we spent in the yard combing through the snow for days trying to find it. Finally about a week later I'm allowed to sleep in the house again (istarted the snowball fight) and sort of forgiven. She still misses the ring but as time passes she gets used to going without it (but doesn't let me forget).

Fast forward from November to May.

Kaiser is out in the yard to do his business during a heavy spring rainstorm.

My wife goes to call him in only to see him lying in a mud puddle in the yard. She calls, he doesn't come. She calls again he looks at her. She shouts swears threatens violence and he just won't move. Finally she gets dressed, and stomps out to grab him by the collar. He will not budge. Even after being dragged to the house he slips his collar and goes back to the spot he was lying. I was then drafted to help carry the dog into the house by my now soaking seriously dangerous wife.

As I am approaching our soon to be decesed dog I see a glint of gold between his paws there half burried in the mud. Sure enough he found her ring. Somehow he knew that it was hers and was willing to put up with a ton of abuse to see that she found it. We still don't know how after six months he could have accomplished any of this.
