Thread: The smartest dog in the world!

Ok, I realize that saying that you have the smartest dog is akin to saying you have the cutest kids, but please indulge me for the moment, and then share a story or two about your pet!

I always knew rusty was sharp and was a fine hunter of ground squirrels, but I really had no idea how sharp he was until yesterday when I saw the way he caught gophers!
I was looking out the children bedroom window with my wife when I noticed that Rusty was staring intently at the ground, so I watched a while and was amazed at what I saw! As Rusty stood perfectly still with his nose maybe four inches from the entrance of a gopher hole, a gopher was slowly rising out of the hole to inspect Rustys nose! he would slowly peek out and then quickly dart back into his hole several times to make sure this "statue" of a dog was just that, a statue. Rusty remaining perfectly still the whole time! When the gopher decided everything was safe he slowly stretched his body out of his hole to reach rustys nose to lick off the moisture! one lick...two licks...three SNAP!
This was something I had never witnessed a dog doing! I was simply amazed! It also answers the age old question, "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a gopher?"
Anyways it was quite a sight to see! I thought you guys might enjoy this story!
