Kutana na Lemon, mbwa anayependa kufanya kazi za nyumbani kama binaadam. Lemon hupenda kwenda kuchota maji na anaweza kulima vizuri kwa kutumia jembe la plau.
Mmiliki wake, Alexander Matitsyn alimnunua Lemon baada ya kustaafu kazi ya jeshi.
Fani
yake akiwa katika jeshi la Urusi ilikuwa kufunza mbwa jinsi ya
kutekeleza majukumu mbalimbali, hivyo si ajabu aliweza kumfundisha Lemon
'ujanja'.
"Hupenda kujifunza na kujaribu mambo mapya na huwa hasahau" amesema bwana Matitsyn.

Lemon the dog is an extremely useful set of paws to have on the farm

Service dogs are certainly not a new concept.
Since the animal was domesticated it’s been used to hunt, guide the blind and assist people in an incredibly varied capacity.
However, an animal farming the land has usually been the preserve of horses, and even they eventually got replaced by machinery.
But
try telling that to Lemon, a Riesenschnauzer who’s taken to farming
faster than a young trust-funder trying to avoid inheritance tax.
Lemon’s 47-year-old owner, Alexander Matitsyn, purchased Lemon after retiring from the Russian Army.
Matitsyn served as an army dog trainer, so it was natural for him to try and teach Lemon basic farming methods.

comes out.nnA retired Russian army dog trainer who left the military to
become a farmer claims he's managed to train a dog that is an even
bigger help than any farmhand.nnAlexander Matitsyn, 47, said he had
purchased the Riesenschnauzer which he called Lemon, despite the fact it
was dark black, and had decided to train it to see what it could
do.nnHe said: "I made him carry the bucket to get water from the yard
because we aren't on a mains water supply here, and before long he was
carrying the bucket himself, hooking it on the pump and then standing on
the lever so that the water comes out and then bringing the bucket back
without spilling it."nnHe said that in addition to that the dog was
capable of driving his skiddoo to the delight of local kids on his farm
on the outskirts of the city of Tara in Omsk Oblast, he can also keep a
plough in a straight line when it comes to harvesting or planting
crops.nnHe added: "He loves to learn and try out new things and never
forgets a trick. I learned about training animals in the army and it was
only as a small hobby that I tried to train him and was amazed by the
results."nnHe said his pet had already become somewhat of a celebrity
with people turning up from far and wide to watch him help out around
the farm and taking snaps.nn(ends)n

‘I

the water comes out and then bringing the bucket back without spilling
it.’
Most people would be impressed if their dog brought them the
paper in the morning, so a pooch that fills and carries buckets is
really something special.
Unsurprisingly, Lemon’s skills don’t
end there. He can also plough a straight line, as well as drive a
skiddoo around the farm on the outskirts of the city of Tara in Omsk
Oblast.
‘He loves to learn and try out new things and never forgets a trick,’ Matitsyn added.
