This is Doodle (the small dog), a Scottish Terrier/Pomeranian who hates to get wet. However, he loves to eat fish. (These are just bait goldfish and minnows). Sometimes it will take him thirty minutes of circling before he dares to enter the water.
He does this every time he goes fishing, even if he is already wet from fishing five minutes ago. . .

This first happened two years ago when we had too many gold fish in our fish tank. So, my father thought to place them in a large, old children's play pool. The fish enticed Doodle and it wasn't long before he was chasing them in the water. This is unusual for Doodle in that he normally refuses to get near or in water. Of course, we didn't realise he was actually catching and eating them until all the fish were gone. Now we reguarly stock the old kiddie pools with fish from the bait store.
He is an apt fisherman and has been known to stay into the pool until every bait fish is gone. This can take five minutes to several hours of fishing (depending on the size of the fish and how cold it is outside).

Now, he has everybody fishing, even our large black scottie Bright Eyes.
