Is Denver the world's cutest puppy? Loving owner captures puppy having fun in the forest on his first adventure

By Daily Mail UK



Bounding along on his first time out for walkies, this furry little gundog puppy is one of the most angelic you'll ever see.

These pictures of Denver, a Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever, were taken by its proud owner Morgan Taylor and posted up on the internet.

And they got quite a reaction.


Denver the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever makes his first investigations into the world:





Morgan's photo album has been deluged with posters commenting on how lovable little Denver is ever since the toller was born in August last year.

One said: 'This is sooooooo cute! what a little cuddle bug.'

Another admirer, called Lisa, said to Denver: 'You've got it all going on - the paws, the face, and that freaking fur. You'll be able to run the world in no time.'

Morgan, from Vancouver, British Columbia, had posted the pictures of Denver out in the forest, in the park and at home on the photo sharing site Flickr.


Denver meets a friend for the first time when out and about with his owner:

You've never had a bird fly into your windshield? They like to "car surf" off the air disruption the car causes. Sometimes they miss![:D][X(] I once say a seagull really screw up and smashed into the radiator of the car in front of me! [X(] MASSIVE amounts of feathers and gore ! [:D]

Nope. Never had the "pleasure". The worst I've gotten is a giant wasp that decided to visit while I was stopped at a light. Did I ever mention that I'm TERRIFIED of bees?

Good job you hit a wasp then.

How can you say that blunt trauma euthanasia methods are humane? Even if the object of the blunt trauma (airplane) is travelling at 500mph, it's still not a recognized means of humane euthanasia. You guys are full of contradictions-the airline should be sued for animal cruelty!!! [:@]

[;)]

Is it more or less humane mincing them up before passing them through a furnace and firing the remains into the atmosphere at several hundred miles per hour?

About the same, only much more 'entertaining' for the spectators. Hey Steve-o: any close encounters of the worst kind with our fine feathered friends at 1,000 feet?

Not so much fun when you're scrubbing bird remains from an engine and trying to retrieve enough parts for an expert to ascertain what breed the plane hit. It also involves a lot of inspection if there's any chance that bird bits have gone through the core (hot part of the) engine.

Two bloody days I spent scrubbing once. And picking feathers and bits of bone out of holes in the engine casing. [:@]

Um hmmm...makes perfect sense:



The Rules of Cricket

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.

Each man that’s in the side that’s in goes out, and when he’s out he comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out.

When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.

Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.

There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.

When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

The sad part is that I understood that completely. [:D]

Well then maybe you can shed some light on my PoB quandary. [:D]

500mph with a blunt object of more than 50 tonnes counts as anesthesia and humane killing at once.

Bah! German government would fine the pilot for hunting without a license. [:D]

Remind me to tell you about that one time I hit a dear on the highway and my friends decided to be funny....

Might as well post another picture. Not all of the puppies have been picked up yet.

Yes, we agreed to a "best of three" with one day beer and one day rum. A third day won't be needed, as I'll win the first two encounters anyways [;)]

If only drinking was an Olympic sport...[:D]

You 'rent' beer because intake and output will eventually come to a steady state. If, after a few hours, you consume 9 liters of beer you will-in comparatively short order-have to dispose of 9 liters of processed beer by one means or another.

Besides, Mike is a girly man with regards to beer consumption. Please don't use the USS Mike metric and assume that all Americans as as effete as he is. [;)]

I am so gonna plunk down two bottles of rum the next time we're together! [:D]

Ah...well, what are YOU going to drink? [;)]

Damn if that dont sound like a challenge. [:D]

Can't imagine that would be an endearing aspect of work. My 'entertaining' in quotes was meant in jest to suggest that it must be a bit concerning having birds fly into engines. Witness the role geese played in bringing down that flight into the Hudson river a few years ago.

Since bird gore is my domain, I'm curious. What means of collecting bits of bird from the inside of an engine to you use? You can't just wash it with water, can you? Do you literally have to pick each little micron of flesh and sinew off of the fan blades and whatnot?

Also, I assume that there is less concern for turboprop aircraft with bird strikes? Seems less likely that you'll have a bird 'ingestion' / engine flame-out than a jet engine, but what do I know?

Good job you hit a wasp then.

Let me clarify...it flew into the car....thankfully while I was stopped. But to a terrified mind theres not an awful lot of difference between bees, wasps and the rest of their ilk.

Yes, and it took away my ability to type correctly. Very traumatic....
