Now, if the dog had really been smart, the camera would have gotten turned off. LOL! The video ends before we have a chance to see if the pup pushed the chair back to where it was. Just a little amusement in our times of trouble.

Hilarious.

Smart poochie.

“Will Work for Nuggets”

Wow! Does that qualify as using a tool? He even hops down off the chair so he can get back up and utilize momentum.

WOOOF!

The Doggie Ping list is for FReepers who would like to be notified of threads relating to all things canid. If you would like to join the Doggie Ping Pack (or be unleashed from it), FReemail me.

Now THAT’s a smart pooch!

[freekitty]

LOL. You can also get a dog like a Great Dane which will guarantee nothing is safe on the counter.

and then I got distracted from the pooch by the sidebar “Palin Wears Stripper Heels” ;-)

When I was a boy in the 1950s, we lived in a suburban house and had a beagle. All he cared about was eating and getting laid (there were lo leash laws then so we would just open the door and let him out).

One time my mom left a roast beef that she was planning to cook that evening on the kitchen counter. My beagle did the same thing as the one in this video, managing to get onto the kitchen counter and knocking the whole platter on to the floor. My mom came home to find that he had eaten almost the whole roast.

Beagles will stop at nothing to get food, and don’t know when they’ve had enough. On one occasion we let him out, and he disappeared for several days. We were very worried that something had happened to him, but when he finally showed up at the back door, his belly was the size of a bowling ball, and rock hard. He could barely move. We took him to the vet, who had to give him enemas for three days. He had been on a non-stop eating binge.

That is problem solving and tool using...

Maybe we’ve bred them to be a little too smart.

[just me]

My son had a cat that wouldn't touch those nugget things..
She would sniff them and walk away... Smart cat..

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I have to wonder. Why was the dog's owner leaving chicken nuggets in a toaster oven...on a timer...so many times that it became necessary for them to install the camera? Wouldn't one hear the timer ring and move to retrieve the nuggets and consume them? If you're not ready to eat them...don't cook them.

Once maybe, but repeatedly? Someone needs to focus on the task at hand.

[trisham]

That may be the smartest dog I’ve ever seen.

[Elsiejay]

Very clever, capable of abstract reasoning. However, I did not see the dog eating any doggie treats. Were they stored in the cupboard above the microwave? Who knows.

The . . .Shadow . . .. knows...

[Organic Panic]

If this pooch were in Port St. Lucie he would just dial 911

[lonevoice]

Ahahaha! Must see...
