@Emma - =) I have seen a show on Animal planet about dogs like that. They must have a great job ;) Over here in Norway they are not a problem like many places I did just tell Leah M that they are very common in Norway =)

@ Stian ,they are common everywhere!! http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7811903 If you look in this link,you will see the Dog hired to chase them away in a nature reserve. The Dog does not harm them but playfully chases them away by barking and swimming towards them. You can also see the red toy speed boat ,which is battery operated ,used to chase them away.
