Is it possible to set Bob's fur on fire and then push him into some water so that he will be traumatised but not harmed(with not harmed I'm thinking still able to move heavy loads)

Sounds like you're wondering if it's scientificaly possible, or plausible, for this to work.
I don't know many people who would know first hand if it's possible for some furry thing to be caught on fire, then extinguished unharmed... unless it was really quick.
I guess it depends on what you use as a fuel. If you were to cover Bob in pitch, then light it, there would be SEVER damage to muscle tissue as the pitch wouldn't really stop burning.
A lighter fuel that doesn't explode (probably like lamp oil) should be able to burn the fur (and damamge the skin) while still leaving Bob physicaly able to exert himself after a little healing time. He mightn't be able to run a marathon, but he'd be able to hoist himself out of harms way, or push a heavy wagon.
