When you take your dog to the lake, you expect that they will have a good time chasing a ball or even going for a swim. But this pretty golden retriever did much more than that to the amazement of her owner.

When Violet was playing fetch in a lake, it wasn’t a ball that she returned to shore with. As she swam toward her owner, Violet’s mom quickly realized it wasn’t a ball that Violet was carrying in her mouth.

She was carrying a duck! As she got closer, her shocked mom is heard saying,

“Violet, are you for real right now?”

When Violet reaches the bank, you can see the duck she’s gently carrying in her mouth. She must think she’s saving the duck and looks pretty pleased with herself as she tries to get the duck safely to shore.
