While fetching the morning paper may be one thing, having a dog that can deliver an ice-cold beer is truly the epitome of companionship for both men and women.
Known as Kalula the booze hound, this clever dog has mastered the art of opening her owner’s fridge and retrieving a drink upon request.
In addition, she brings comfort items like slippers and blankets, and astonishingly, she can even empty the washing machine.
‘After a long day at work, if Kalula brings me a beer, it really improves my mood,’ said her owner, Nicole Jennings. ‘I attached a tea towel to the fridge handle, and she pulls it to open the door.
‘She always makes sure to close it behind her, though.’
Since Kalula was eight weeks old, Mrs. Jennings has been training her Australian shepherd.
‘She learns incredibly fast,’ she noted. ‘I demonstrate something once, and within 15 minutes, she can do it on command.
‘Learning new tricks excites her.
‘At times, she even believes she’s smarter than I am; if Kalula discovers a more efficient way to accomplish a task, it can be quite challenging to persuade her otherwise.’
From Cape Town, South Africa, Mrs. Jennings trains a variety of animals for television shows and advertisements.
She remarked: ‘Kalula truly thrives on the tricks that I teach her.’
