VIDEO: Dog is the ultimate caddie, retrieves ball thrown off pier

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


A dog is man's best friend. This dog is man's best caddie.

Murphy is an eight-year-old black Labrador and was on vacation with his owner at Cradle Lake in Saskatchewan, Canada. The owner decided to throw a golf ball off the pier on the lake and into four-foot-deep water.

Murphy hops into the water (probably a little chilly) and swims around briefly before diving underwater to retrieve the ball. Even Happy Gilmore would be impressed with that one. 

My dog won't even bite the golf balls that come into our yard from the golf club.
