Ducks and the hunting dog

I was in Grand Haven today along the pier by where the fishing boats normally are and I come up on a flock of mallard ducks on the walkway. Approaching from the other way is a family with two dogs, a small dog in a sweater and a rather large golden retriever. The ducks just stand on the walkway not phased by the humans and the golden retriever sits down and looks over the channel. They family and dogs head to the parking as do I and the golden comes up to me all happy and wagging and jumping for some attention. So not much of a hunting dog but deffinitely peolple dog!
