Well, since it didn't happen to me, I don't mind telling it. A bunch of us were hauled up on a rocky beach with our kayaks to enjoy a shore break. There must have been 8-10 boats altogether. Suddenly we noticed a pretty black lab walking along the shore, coming towards us. We could see he had a large object in his mouth, but couldn't make out what it was. The lab made a bee-line for D.'s kayak. When the dog's mouth was directly over the front deck of D.'s boat, the lab dropped the object and made a direct hit. When we heard the impact, we figured out what the object was...it was about as large a rock as a retriever could possibly fit into it's mouth. The mix of emotions we experienced would be hard to put into words. Needless to say, D. was not at all pleased with that dog. Fortunately, the rock did not penetrate the deck. The dog walked off and did not make a second attack. And we never went back to that beach. Come to think of it, that's the same bunch of kayakers who decided to tie off their boats to a very large poisson oak tree. But that's another thread I guess.
