TimTaylor751647545500 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 'The smell of a wet dog is irresistible to a shark,' said a fisherman. 'You don't often hear of dogs surviving if they decide to go for a bit of a swim. Even a big fish will have a go at their legs.' one lucky pooch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 is it me, or does anyone else think that dog is completely retarded for swimming 6 miles to that island to the NE instead of swimming ~3/4 mi to the west to the main land? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coryscobra Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I know a few people with blue heelers. hands down the toughest dog around IMO. My friends have Rotts and Pitts also. They are very independent and so fucking determined its crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgtschulze Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Now the dog is going to eat its owner if it hunted wild goats. That would be my main concern as the owner. The mentality of the dog has most likely completely changed. I wouldn't want to be alone with it if it missed a meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetic_Influx Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 This reminds me of a special I saw on Discovery once - "Life after people" or something of that sort. They explained how house pets would have to fend for themselves after we were all gone, and small dogs (toy poodles, pugs, etc.) would be the first ones to die because they aren't designed to fend for themselves. Short legs, small teeth, tiny size, disproportionate body = Fail. Big dogs > rat dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Body shaped like a sausage, tiny legs...i dont think she could even swim. Not to mention she runs for about 3 mins before she is so out of breath and tired she can barely walk.

Nothing against some of them though - like a puggle. My friend has one and the dog is hilariously fun. I don't categorize them as "rat dogs" like other small breeds.

BloodRed Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 You know I was not completely surprised when it turned out to be an Australian Cattle Dog. I have one that is mixed with a beagle and it is the toughest dog I have ever owned. My next one is going to be a full bread Cattle Dog. I love Auzzy Dogs.
