Hit with a bad rap for being dull they are actually extremely sharp and are used widely to assist people with mental and physical differences, as well as various security and law enforcement agencies for their preternatural abilities of detection and moral support. Originating in the Island of Newfoundland, they were originally employed as work dogs retrieving fishing nets. Webbed feet [for swimming] is a characteristic of the breed.
