The Labrador Retriever was bred to be both a friendly companion and a useful worker. Historically, he earned his living as a fisherman's helper, dragging nets, fetching ropes, and hauling fish from the chilly North Atlantic. Today, the Labrador Retriever is just as good-natured and hard-working as its ancestors, and is America's most popular breed. Today, the Lab works as a disability service dog, show competitor, and search and rescue dog, among other jobs.

Bears differ from other carnivores in that the special molar teeth they possess are not specially adapted for tearing flesh, but for grinding up vegetation instead.

Since they spend about half the day foraging and eating food, the average black bear eats a nut or berry every second.
