John,the dog is a dalmation, not perhaps the best water dog, as opposed to a labrador.
I have done a fair bit of wildfowling in north India,many moons ago. The shooting I enjoyed most was for bar head and greylag. It was basically flighting them at full moon, as they came into the small irrigation lakes (known as Jheels) which were set in the middle of farmland, mainly gram and peanut fields.One still does a fair amount of wildfowling in selected areas.
The video clip of the tiger was taken by a Jap tourist, and because of the nature of the attack,it has been treated as extremely sensitive material. I have e-mailed the person who gave me the clip, and if he feels comfortable with it, I shall send you a copy. It is pretty dramatic stuff,particularly the way the tigress clears the ele's head with some considerable ease, to get to the mahout.
