Meet the poodle that's part of a lifeguard pack in Spain
Poodles are some of the most pampered pooches and certainly don't look out of place at dog shows like Crufts.But now you might see one on a beach, as he's just joined a dog rescue squad in Spain.Nilo the poodle has joined four labradors in the team, paw-trolling Las Lindes beach near Malaga.Miguel Sanchez-Merenciano, who is Nilo's handler, says he enters the water first to reach swimmers who have got into trouble, before Nilo and the others help them back to safety.
Nilo certainly looks the part, with a life vest strapped to his chest and suncream on his nose.However, you're unlikely to find many other Poodles working on the beaches in the country as other breeds tend to be used there - like Labradors and Newfoundlands.Poodles are thought to have originated in Germany and were historically used for water rescue in northern Europe, where their fur would protect them from the cold.According to Miguel that their name comes the German verb "puddeln" which means 'to splash'.
Poodles aren't just known for their fluffy fur, the American Kennel Club says they are very intelligent and are great learners.Miguel says Nilo at first was scared of loud noises and crowds so his training had to be done a step at a time.But he says it wasn't long until he was out there swimming with "perfect strokes" and "using his tail perfectly like a rudder to run and to move".One thing's for sure, if someone got rescued by this super pooch, they'd certainly have a tail to tell!

Olympo – Season 1 Episode 2 'Crying or Winning' Recap & Review
Crying or Winning Episode 2 of Olympo season 1 starts with Zoe and the others trying to resuscitate Nuria. A medical team soon arrives and rushes Nuria to the hospital on site. Amaia refuses to leave and waits for news about Nuria's condition. Zoe joins her, too. The doctor informs them that Nuria is stable, but they can't see her yet. Amaia begs the doctor to run a doping test on Nuria. Zoe is offended and confronts Amaia for saying this. The doctor kicks them out and later calls someone, asking what they gave Nuria. The doctor adds that Nuria's condition is serious. The following morning, Zoe wakes up after having a nightmare about her accident. Renata continues to ignore her. Meanwhile, everyone gets ready to start their day. Roque wakes up to hate comments under his post with the closeted guy. However, he focuses his attention on helping Amaia, who insists on seeing Nuria. The doctor refuses to let them in. Amaia tries to contact Isabel, but she is off campus. Amaia ends up late for her practice, and everyone, including the coach, criticises her. In the locker room, the closeted guy punches Roque. Thankfully, Charlie and Sebas intervene before things escalate. Sebas asks Roque to be careful about his social media presence. On the other side, the coaches worry about Nuria. Amaia tries to bring up the doping subject, but everyone assumes she is jealous of Nuria. At the running field, Zoe fakes an injury to avoid training. In the meantime, Christiana interrupts the artistic swimming training session to talk to Amaia. He tells her that he is leaving, and she makes it all about herself. She accuses him of not putting in enough effort. However, she assures him that nothing has changed between them. In the physio, Zoe shares her concern over Nuria with Renata. Still, Renata doesn't talk to her. Charlie gets on with his usual antics and starts strip dancing. Zoe also strips and gets in the hot tub with Sebas, Fatima and Charlie. They are all curious about Zoe's Olympo sponsorship. Jennifer comes to her defence and takes Zoe away. They head to the sauna, where the other athletes are playing, Would You Rather. The conversation switches to Nuria, and Zoe zeroes in on Amaia. She doesn't mince her words, but Jennifer asks her to stop. Amaia stands up for herself, and another trainer walks in to stop the debate. After this, Renata follows Zoe as she escapes to the woods. She finds Zoe smoking a blunt and takes it from her. Zoe starts chasing her, forgetting she is supposed to have an ankle injury. Renata finally confronts her and warns her to change her attitude before she loses her sponsorship. Zoe comes clean about her legal issues and asks Renata to help her. Back at the centre, Amaia and Roque try to get Isabel so they can see Nuria. Christian is about to leave, but Amaia opts to focus on Nuria instead. She finds Isabel, who takes her to see Nuria. Amaia is shocked to see Nuria unconscious, with Hugo holding her hands. The medical team is forced to drag her out as she cries. In the end, she misses her chance to say goodbye to Christian. Christian is hurt, but Fatima starts flirting with him. Iker picks him up and refuses to wait for Amaia. During the ride, Iker speeds up to teach Christian a lesson about not giving up. Out of fear, Christian agrees that he will stop being a crybaby and focus on winning. Instead of driving back home, Iker switched their destination. On the football field, Javier demotes Roque as the captain and promotes Charlie. Roque confronts him about it, and Javier refuses to tell him the real reason behind the demotion. Roque figures it might be because of the social media post. Roque also overhears Jennifer talking to someone about a doping drug. He sees Jeniffer take something while the other girl refuses to take the drug, saying she doesn't want to turn out like Nuria. During the sparing session, Roque takes down Charlie. Charlie asks Sebas to take down Roque for him. He tries to use a homophobic slur to instigate Roque. However, Sebas seems to take offence too. During the sparring, Roque notices Sebas getting a hard-on and realises that Sebas is gay. On the running field, the coach punishes Zoe by asking her to do more laps. He also shares some sad news with Renata, who starts crying. Zoe questions what is going on, but no one tells her anything. It seems Renata doesn't like being teamed up with Zoe. Later that night, a group of athletes sneak out to a cabin near the school. They start drinking and playing some drinking games. Amaia and Roque discuss the Nuria situation and Roque's dating life. Roque reveals he is over the other guy and into Sebas. Charlie flirts with Amaia, but she turns him down. Sadly, Sebas and Zoe sneak off to the woods to have sex. Sebas fails to get a hard-on, but Zoe plays it cool and assures him it is okay. At the same time, the other guy starts kissing another girl to rile Roque up. Things get intense when Zoe and Amaia go up against each other in a game. Amaia calls Zoe a fraud, and the latter pretty much calls Zoe a friend killer. This triggers Amaia to pour her drink on Zoe and storm off. Roque follows her out and comforts her. He assures her that Nuria's accident was not her fault and agrees to take her to see Nuria. Back at the centre. Renata takes a video of the medical team rushing Nuria to get emergency help. They put Nuria on a helicopter and take off. The Episode Review As we suspected, there is more to Nuria's accident than what meets the eye. At the centre of all this is Hugo. He looks saddened to see Nuria unconscious, but there is a hint of regret on his face, too. He likely wanted to secretly train Nuria to outperform Amaia. His plan was most likely to give Nuria the sponsorship, too. We still don't know why he gave Zoe a sponsorship. There is also evidence that more athletes at the centre are doping, but no one wants to come forward. With Nuria's condition getting critical, maybe someone will. The trainers and staff at this centre are also keeping secrets. Some of them already know about the doping but are protecting the person behind it. Who did the doctor call to ask what they gave Nuria? It is also suspicious how Javier benched Roque and demoted him. In retrospect, I think Zoe is agonising Amaia over the Nuria issue because she feels guilty over whatever happened with Yaiza. She is projecting her guilt onto Amaia. Once we find out more about both accidents, we will be able to understand both characters. As for matters of the heart, things are getting complicated. Amaia didn't see Christian off, and he was probably mourning their relationship. She loves him, but has a lot going on. It is no excuse, and we hope they can solve their issues. Meanwhile, Roque is crushing on Sebas, but Sebas is not even ready to accept himself, let alone think of making a move on Roque. While we are on this, it was nice of Zoe to keep Sebas secret, and she didn't shame him. She made him comfortable and assured him that it was okay. Previous Episode Next Episode
