I happened to be traveling through Anchorage when the Honor Flight returned. A pretty moving experience.

Went down to put extra lines on my boat and watched the power of the wind for a few minutes. Gusts wet 70 to 80 mph.
Those look like katabatic winds. Awesome!
Awwww
In your other video, the your two dogs and an otter are good friends!

i see why you turned off commenting on your other video. incredibly annoying “spice come sugar come” a million times and for no reason. like let them play jesus
Your dogs even seem friendly to a wild otther and the wild otter seem to be used to humans and dogs.

Hello Robert, would it possible to contact you regarding one of your videos i.e via mail? I would love to discuss a permission to use it if this is possible. Greetings!

Better late than never: to anyone who has never owned a lab, but obviously are the perfect dog-owners, I’ve owned and trained 8 labs in my life, and all- every single one- knew the difference between work and play. If we were on the boat or in the blind (or both), they would heed every verbal and non-verbal command down to the softest tongue-click. But when we were on the dock, or in the backyard, they were goofy kids playing. I tried calling them off a snake once, in vain. I certainly can’t imagine them paying me much heed in this situation, that is for sure! And to the OP: These are fantastic videos, thank you for posting them.
So precious! As someone that has trained dogs for well over 30 years I love how you call the dogs onto the boat "Load up" give them a moment to calm down a little, then allowed them to go back to playing! In the other video I noticed how Sugar was looking a little um... "hmmm I could maybe eat that thing" and right away you corrected her. For those people saying he should put down the camera and train his dogs... these dogs are incredibly well trained and the owner has perfect control over them at all times. Great dog daddy!
Very well behaved girl labradors!
A sea otter is a lot bigger than a river otter, right? You're blessed to be able to enjoy these very rare animals in the wild. Keep making video's of the animals you are exposed to and your dog's too. I just love them.
Great video's with your dog's and the otter, very well behaved dog's too. They're labrador retrievers and you would think they would be chasing the little otter, but they're very well behaved and only want to play with it. I love your videos. The otter and dog's as well. Thank you for sharing this. So cute!
How cute!
Really lame to turn off the commenting on the other video
An otter, & dogs playing. A triumph for interspecies communication,
That otter video. The otters are just as likely to drag the dig into the water and eat it. Dogs should be on leash always.
Get over yourself mr know it all, whose probably never actually done anything so you spend your time criticizing people who really live life. If you don't have anything good to say, shut up!
Actually, the dogs were on the boat. The Otter coaxed them off of the boat to play.
This is the cutest. Dog were gently.
Labs aren't related to Otters.
At some point the theory of doing the same thing over and over and over "Sugar! Spice! Load up!" and expecting different results comes into play. Either your dogs mind, or they are untrained. Put down the camera and train your dogs.
You just need one more dog called nice and you have the recipe for the powerpuff girls x'D
Otters are very playful
This is kinda like humans befriending mermaids :D
Man, in your 2017 video, your dogs do not listen to you at all! Lol. Calling their names over and over with no result actually became irritating. Thanks for uploading some otter videos anyway.
I'm sure that's the reason the comments were disabled. It was such an interesting, funny interaction between the dogs and otter, but the constant ignored commands became difficult to watch. Either let them play (my preference!) or make them follow their command... singular command. If dogs don't listen they shouldn't be off-leash.
"Sugar! Spice! Sugar! Spice...Sugar!"
Suger and spice
BTW, have you ever seen the otter again?
I could watch this for hours. good stuff, boss.
wanted to comment on your labs playing with otter videos but couldn't. i wouldn't say they playing as much as trying to figure each other out. it plays out as a best case scenario first contact situation. two species met for the first time and are curious about each other. the otter demonstrated a huge amount of trust exposing its belly to potential predators. i also found it very interesting they were both interested in their corresponding scent glands.
Nice vids thanks for them. Obviously playful,my labs woulda been in the drink with otter.
Why were you calling the dogs away in that beautiful interaction with the otter. All your other videos are with otters it dont make sense, no wonder the comments were turned off, near every human being on the planet would of embraced that!
Because they're wild animals and can be quite ferocious?
Because not everyone is as loving and kind as some humans strive to be - we are talking about animals here, and in that situation, dogs are predators and otters are prey. It's a blessing that these dogs were not interested in killing the otters but a lack of interest shouldn't be expected. He acted accordingly; when he was not sure if the interaction was about to take a turn for the worse, he didn't risk it - instead, he called them back.
@@3me0 Not to pick a fight on YT comment section, but your interpretation of the predator-prey relationship between species and individual animals is wrong and backwards. Wild sea otters are not prey to dogs in any scenario. Moreover, I'm pretty sure state/municipality laws prohibit unleashed dogs harassing wild animals,AND sea otters are an endangered species, so there are probably at least four code violations occurring. Next, otters as a species are a keystone apex predator in estuaries, and shoreline habitats. This otter was probably used to patrolling that marina and interacting with humans and pets. But an adult sea otter is not prey to dogs, that otter could easily handle those two pet dogs who have no sense of danger, or how to kill anything. There are reasons why otters are called water wolves and its not because they play cute
Yeah, they are good friends.
OMG this is the continue of the other video. So glad it didnt end there.
Let. Your. Dogs. Have. Fun.
How very cute. I like it.
poor dogs
Come on sugar you come
Dear Robert, would it be possible to get in touch with you to discuss using your fantastic "Labs and Otter" videos in an entertainment production? (i.e. via email) Best regards!
And he never anwserd back. Or did he?
Omg! Unlikely friends!!!
This is awesome. 3 oees in a pod
Didn't know they played that same bagpipe tune in America
That otter is looking for a perfect moment to drag one of the dogs into the water
I LOVE the guy talking in the background. I love him and share the excitement.
River Otter or Sea Otter?
River
Omg you do it here as well, can you let the dogs enjoy a little?
Dude, his dogs were playing with a wild animal. If the dogs attacked the otter people would be crucifying him for not having control over the dogs. If the otter attacked the dogs they’d be calling him an idiot. The interaction went great, stop being a child.
yes the dogs were just waiting for the chance to tear it apart
You REALLY don't want the dog chasing the otter into the water near the docks. At the end of the vid you can get a hint of how much oil, fuel, and other gunk is mixed in the water near the docks.
Cute!
The friendliest otter, like no other.
Amy Elizabeth like no otter
Your videos are so cringy
I mean you have no videos so...
that oil spill is NOT ok!! ..in general and inparticular with that otter jumping into it! 1 (!) drop of oil contaminates 1 cubic (!) meter of water
It might help moisturize the otter's fur
Wait...what the hey? Let me check my eyeballs..this is definitely fascinating!
