Info from Licensor: I filmed this video last summer. My husband Brandon and I had cut down cumbersome pine trees the week before, and my father and mother came over to help us landscape our backyard. We were planting a First Editions Magnolia Centennial Blush bush when Ellie started to 'help' us. Ellie was two years old at the time. She is a very wild, hyperactive golden retriever who pounces all the time. Her pouncing was not a surprise to us, but the intensity of her pouncing was hysterical! She seemed to really want to be involved with what we were doing. As she was pouncing, my mom and I were giggling in the background. My husband was in the sleeveless shirt and my father in the black shirt, trying to get the tree planted. They decided to try and help Ellie plant this tree by placing dirt in front of her and in the hole to pounce on. A year later, the tree is still there and alive.
