Many dogs enjoy collecting stones. Some do it due to pica, a condition where the dog might be deficient in certain trace elements or minerals and tries to replenish them by licking stones. However, some dogs collect them simply because they find it fun. Just as some people collect cell phones and others collect stamps, dogs also collect things they like, especially twigs and stones. Their owners may not know why they collect these things.
However, a dog's liking for these things might just be a passing fad. If the owner doesn't want them to bring them home, they can try to reason with them and get them to give them up. Whether the dog will listen depends on its mood. If the owner really doesn't want the dog to develop a habit of collecting stones, then they must forbid them from picking them up in the first place. At the same time, supplementing with trace elements or changing their diet are also options.
However, this pet owner was startled by the dog today, because the dog dived underwater for several seconds before coming up, and the owner was stunned when it did:
The owner had taken the dog out for a walk, but the dog insisted on going into the water. Since it was so hot, the owner let the dog have its way. However, after playing for a while, the dog suddenly seemed to be looking for something in the water...
A few seconds later, the dog emerged from the water, carrying what it had found, and began to walk ashore. The owner was stunned: What was that thing it was carrying?!
Upon closer inspection, the dog was carrying a concrete brick in its mouth...
It's clear the Golden Retriever really loves this brick. It's so heavy that the dog has to rest after carrying it for just a few steps, but it still won't give up!
Netizens burst out laughing and added a voiceover for the dog: "Stop going to work, I'll go down to the river and collect bricks to support you!"
