Today was search and rescue training day, and a beautiful day it was to go out and get lost in the woods. For Storm though it was a series of playing and what are called runaways. Basically a person gets Storms attention, excites him up quite a bit, then runs away while another person holds him. After about 40 feet the runaway person stops and Storm is let go to go get the person. Upon going to the person and "finding" him, Storm is rewarded with his favorite toy and oodles of praise. Storm did three runaways and was successful every time and seemed to be having a boatload of fun as well. Lola came along for the ride and seemed to be enjoying the outdoors quite a bit.
Storm even seemed to make a new friend named Gwynn, an 18 month old lab/great dane mix who towered over him. What was hysterical though was when Gwynns leash was on the ground, Storm ran over, picked it up, and proceeded to lead Gwynn all around the parking lot. This video is really more of Storm kind of playing tug of war with Gwynn though.
