It happened in jolly old England a few months ago. From the Telegraph:
A retired gun dog proved that his retrieving instinct, if not his judgment, was still sound when he proudly presented his owner with an unexpected find - a live hand grenade. Jake the 15-year-old labrador, who is blind in one eye, is rather deaf and walks unsteadily, emerged from a bush, his tail wagging, to present Stefan Bojanowski with his find. His owner initially thought his old companion had dug up a harmless lump of metal. It was only when he retrieved it that he realised it was a rusty, Second World War grenade. ...
"Like any good gun dog, he always finds things and tries to give them to me. I was absolutely terrified but he was really proud of himself when he presented it to me. He didn't know that he could have blown us both up."
