Bear is a dumb blonde

[Garth]

He was on guard duty out on the front patio. Someone just walked past with another dog.

This is the view of the street from where he was:



And from his level:



So any other dog would run down the patio keeping the offending dog in sight while still barking at it right?

Not my Bear! He ran inside & went out the dog door to the back yard so he could "chase" it down the road. This was his view of the other dog:



The worst part was he took Buzz with him so now he's training him to be as stoopid as he is. Great pair of guard dogs I've got!

I see this a different way. They knew that the person going by wasn't a threat. They are smart, you just don't give them enough credit.

Lol! Poor Bear.

[Handysmurf]

He was tracking the "intruder" by scent,rather than sight. He would have been on the scene immediately had the intruder made it on 'his' turf. ...plus he had back up !!!

I think he realized the dog posed no threat. Definately not stupid.....just smart enough to know when to bark.

[zoesmom]

I agree on the scent theory. LOL

(a side: Yesterday, Zoe wanted to go out the front door for her walk; we always go from the garage. Well, it turns out that Anela, her black lab neighbor escaped and I think she could smell her)

Good nose, Bear!

Bear! Bite him in the butt next time he calls you a dumb blonde! LOLOL!!!!!

He's smarter than you think. I can't tell you how often my blonds outsmart me.
