Thread: The smartest dog in the world!

Hey James, thats neat about the rabbits! Rusty hasn't quite got the hang of rabbits yet but his tactic for the ground squirrels is interesting! He'll peak around the corner of our house towards the goat and chicken pen, where the squirrels like to hang out, then he will creep slowly toward them, then suddenly he's off like a shot causing every single ground squirrel to run for cover! he runs around the pen and starts coming back towards the house. At this time the ground squirrels start coming out of hiding, and just as they are settling back in Rusty will make a sudden u-turn, catch them pesky critters by surprise and have ground squirrel for dinner!
If you think this is something, when I was a boy we had a dog named Otto Von Averystein that was part huskey and part wolf. I guess this dog didn't like sweating much when he was asserting his dominance in his neighborhood because when a dog would challenge him he would crouch down and show submissiveness to the challenger. The other dog would trot towards Otto as if to say I came, I saw, I conquered! And when the dog got close enough Otto would grip the underside of the dogs neck and flip it over, and that was all she wrote! I never saw a dog that ever bested Otto but I suspect rusty could've come damned close!
