Funny Stories ›› Funny dog stories ›› funny dog stories 003 We were assigned to patrol a remote hydro line under construction through a forest. Knowing that no one would be out there in the dead of winter; (deep snow, freezing cold, miles from nowhere), I took my old patriarch dog; ... and for fun, a litter of 6, six month old Dobe pups.
We were all alone, so no need for leashes.The old scout would run ahead, and when he'd spot a trail crossing ours, his head would go down and he'd "track the villain" until I'd call him back to my side. Of course behind him, bouncing, falling, disappearing into the snow, gallumped a gangly six-pack of pups.
One day, my dog was beside me on leash, when the pups, running ahead, spotted a trail of what must have been a huge animal according to the size of the prints ...Snowshoes! All six took off into the bush after their quarry. My shouts meant nothing to them, this trail was easy to follow.
I heard a cry form the woods, and when I got to the source, I found my pack of "wild" Dobes barking at the base of a tree in which was a hydro inspector, still wearing one snowshoe.
I assured him that they were just pups.
He replied "They sure as Hell don't look like pups, comin' through the bush like that!!"
He later saw the humour of the situation, and didn't report me so we kept the contract. ... |
