This is a really funny clip showing how a smart dog get's the ball without jumping into the dirty pool. The clip shows the dog's deductive reasoning... From the dog's perspective, the syllogism is:
-The ball is in the water and can be pulled out without jumping in.
-The mattress will float when I jump on it.
-I can paddle to the ball and get it out of the pool by jumping onto the mattress.
