The dog is on fire.

My sisters dog used to help her with her laundry.
No one ever taught him to, she just noticed it one day when she was folding socks and tossing them across the room into the open Sock drawer.
She missed and a pair hit the floor.
Snoopy immediately went for them and she figured they were toast as he just LOVED playing tug-of-war with just about anything he could get hold of.
Well, he just took them over and dropped them in the drawer.
She threw another folded pair on the floor and he picked them up and put them in the drawer as well.
From then on, whenever she was folding socks, she'd open the sock drawer and just throw the folded pairs on the floor and Snoopy would make sure they all went in the drawer.
He never even drooled on them or anything.

You need to send that dog after my ex's cat, Squirmy.
(the three legged one)
She will wait till no one's looking, and then snatch a sock, run upstairs with it, and drop it off under the bed, usually it's just socks, one at a time - which drives the ex bonkers when she tries to match them up, and amuses me to no end in that I don't *have* to match mine, heh heh.
The act that drove her to screeching willies about it was catching Squirmy in the act of bolting upstairs with a pair of her knickers - I guess the idea of being panty-raided by the cat pushed her buttons or something, although I found it hi-larious.

That reminds me of my second and more impressive major burn: My mother had been cooking pork chops, and had used grease in the boiler, which caught fire. She instructed me an my sister to carry it outside, and then told my sister to throw dirt on it. Well she did, and it splashed all over me. It instantly burned all the outer skin off my hands and forearms, and the underlayers, within an hour, had turned completely black. They flaked off in about a week, leaving behind new white skin. Over the many decades since, they reverted to their natural color, all except a circle on one hand, which remains white. A reminder.

My sister also has one functioning leg and is ambidextrous. I wonder if this is some sort of natural adaptation.

Great story. Reminds me of the recycling racoons.
My other sister has a sock loving dog, but he's of the destructive variety.
Retrieving socks from chester requires a trick:
You must have the sock from the pair that he doesn't have. It's always more valuable than the one he does have. Only when he thinks he can get the sock he *doesn't* have will he drop the one he *does* have.
