A Dog, a Reservoir, and One Giant Stick

Some dogs chase tennis balls. Others prefer frisbees. But today’s Boulder’s Dog of the Day has decided to level up—by hauling around a massive stick that’s closer to a stump than a twig. Watching him paddle through Boulder Reservoir with this oversized prize in his mouth is equal parts hilarious and inspiring. His determination to wrangle something nearly his own size shows the kind of spirit that makes dogs such loyal adventurers.

Boulder Reservoir: A Local Favorite

For many pups, Boulder Reservoir is the ultimate summer hangout. With plenty of space to run, splash, and swim, it’s one of the most popular spots for Boulderites and their four-legged companions. The calm waters, wide-open skies, and mountain views make it a destination not just for humans but also for dogs who live for a good swim.

Today’s star clearly knows it. He charges into the cool water with tail wagging, ready for round after round of fetch. Each time he comes back with his giant stick, it’s as if he’s proudly saying: “Look what I can do!”

The Joy of Simple Things

What’s amazing about dogs is how they remind us to appreciate the simple pleasures. For this pup, happiness is found in the splash of water, the tug of a stick between his teeth, and the cheers of his people on the shore. Boulder Reservoir may be just a place on the map, but to him, it’s pure paradise.

A Reminder for Us All

Today’s Dog of the Day teaches us a lesson we can all use: don’t overlook the joy in everyday adventures. Whether it’s chasing a stump that’s way too big, or just soaking up the sunshine with friends, life is about finding those moments that make your tail wag.

So next time you’re at Boulder Reservoir, keep an eye out—you might just see a determined dog hauling around a piece of wood fit for a lumberjack, living his best Boulder life.
