I wonder if the monkeys will figure out it is just a dog.

Looks like rednecks are found everywhere, not just the US....

I looked at the photos. It’s a very good job. I’ll bet it actually works.

Looks like a very intelligent dog

That's a random pic of Dutchie from online, but looks pretty much like mine.

In my life I've had German, Belgian and now a Dutch shepherd. All three are intelligent, but I have to say, the Dutch is by far, the hardest-headed, most stubborn of the lot.

SO, making use of the “stimulus generalization” effect in monkeys works too!

Who knew that monkeys like coffee?

Who knew that monkeys like coffee?

There is a brand or type of coffee that comes from Asia, I think, that is made from the beans that are excreted by monkeys after they eat the fruit and can't digest the beans.

I $h!+ you not.

Good thing the farmer didn’t paint him with a blackface. The democrats would have a fit unless the dog was a democrat as well.

Once the monkeys develop ‘resistance’, some will make the fatal mistake of ignoring real tigers.

I was imagining something a bit more orange, white, and black, not 2 minutes with shoe polish.
