The primary Superpower that Labs display is the ability to sweep clean a coffee table with valuables on it with a mighty swipe of its muscular tail.
That and find smelly things to roll in.
I almost forgot the supernatural begging ability.
And oh yeah, the impossibility of keeping them from leaping into a body of water!
I’ve had black labs since childhood. My current one is purebred and close-stock to the St. Johns waterdog. She has the chest medallion, white between the paws, top of paws and at the tip of her tail. Smart as all.
When she figured I could understand her she wouldn’t shut up for 3 days. I had to ignore her to get her to stop yapping. Head up or bark means “Yes”. Head turned to the side means “No”. Lots of human expressions and eye gestures so easy to read.
Great dogs to have as companions.
Irish Wolfhounds:
1: lean down to steal off the counter
2: don’t look where you are on the bed when they drop. they know you’ll wiggle out from under.
