This story reminds me of one of the funniest things I've ever seen...

My friend took in a couple of 3-year-old dogs, a Golden Retriever and then a Yellow Lab, and decided to put in an Invisible Fence(tm) to allow them to run in the backyard.

During the training period, a squirrel ran by, and the retrievers bolted for it, only to hear the warning and get zapped. They came running back to the porch.

The next time, a rabbit ran by, and again, off like a shot they went...and again, warning sound and a zap and they came running back.

But these dogs ain't dumb...they've learned.

Now, sometimes if I sit on my friend's back porch, watching the dogs playing, and a rabbit or squirrel decides to visit, I get treated to the rather pathetic sight of these two hunky hounds hightailing it to the house--scared to death of those dangerous little animals that they've learned can zap them with electric shocks! :-)

Laughing and crying at the same time.

Thanks for delivery of the morning chuckle.

Humans are not that much further than your dogs, as everything they do not understand becomes "supernatural".
