Facing His Fears: Golden Retriever Tries to Grab a Ball From Water

A video was shared on Twitter earlier this week, showing a golden retriever playing with a ball on the shore.

Once the ball fell onto the wet sand, the dog tried to approach it but the toy was so close to the water that the tide - and not the retriever -  almost grabbed it.  

Although the dog looked a bit scared of the waves and was crouching, it eventually managed to 'release' the ball from the ocean's 'captivity'.
