Seems that some skills never go out of style or are easy to forget. Lucky for these two dogs (and their owners) this ole' cowboy happened along at the right time.
I had to grin at where the other guy tried unsuccessfully to "lasso" or loop the rope around the animals whereas this guy only needed one throw each. Betcha the cowboy said "aww, shucks m'am, t'ain't nuthin" and rode off into the sunset. :lol2:
Great job and a good happy ending.
Former cowboy lassos dogs in Wash. state canalAP Fri, Sep 2, 2011
MOXEE, Wash. (AP) A farmworker who says he learned how to lasso 30 years ago while working on a cattle ranch in Mexico still knows his ropes.
Jesus Villanueva was working Wednesday when he heard a disturbance along the Roza irrigation canal. A woman and her husband were trying to save their two dogs being swept away in the current. The dogs couldn't climb up the steep concrete sides of the canal.
A Yakima sheriff's deputy had a rope but was having no luck. It took Villanueva just one lasso for each dog to bring them ashore..
