Dog Section, what was the last "WTF" situation you came along?

This was a pretty curious incident that I came along a few weeks ago.

So I had just came from surfing and I had left my clothes on my towel. As soon as I came from the sea and arrived to the towel, a Spaniel mix (I suppose) stole my sandal and went away with it. I looked at the owner, a bit confused, trying to see what she was going to do about this situation. She said lightly "no, no, no" and refused to take it away from the dog, explaining "he would be very sad". Then, she took took a piece of ham from her bag and threw it to the sand, trying to convince her dog to eat it (and leave the sandal, I suppose). Then she turned to my friend, who was eating a sandwich, and asked him: "uh, can I borrow a bit of your sandwich??" She looked like she was having a fun time, laughing and all. FINALLY, after eating like a pig, the dog let go my sock and I could recover it. We laughed our a$$es off.

But seriously................. Am I the only one who thinks this is totally RIDICULOUS??

What is the most ridiculous and surprising dog related situation you ever experienced?

Another one would have to be my two friends discussing.

"Dude, I think Great Danes are epic, they are like, so big"

"Yeah, they're really big, but the biggest dogs are the Dalmatians and the Blue Dog"

Blue dog?? Lmfao!!

Update:

That would be da bomb, Bells. LOL. ;)

Update 2:

Sorry Sassy, confused with something else. Not really smoking.

Update 3:

Wow, the Google story is pretty impressive.

Did anyone hear about the woman who gave a bath to the cat, dried it in the microwave, THEN sued the microwave company because they didn't mencion she shouldn't put live animals inside??

Guess what, she WON.....

    Yep...talking to my ex hubby a couple of weeks ago (Please notice the EX part, for this story)

    He has bought yet another Shar Pei for a couple of grand and we were discussing dog food. I mentioned that I give Murphy raw meat from time to time...etc.

    He got upset b/c our daughter is in the same house...and apparently raw meat will make a dog have an appetite for human blood and will make it into a monster.

    Then he proceeded to tell me that he has a friend that breeds pits and he puts extra gun powder in their food to make them even more aggressive o_O. Mind you its a 38yr old telling me this...not a 12yr old.

    Yeah....sooooo....For protection purposes...I decided that I will buy a stick of dynamite for Murphy to chew on...that would probably make him even more aggressive than the gun powder...what do you all think?? lol

    I agree with you TOTALLY RIDICULOUS!!!

    Last week I had a "WTF" situation when I took my Lab swimming in this awesome Lake. He has been doing swim therapy to help recover from ACL tears and has been doing great. So we are at the Lake and everyone is having a great time when out of no where comes this crazy Boxer. Just by the way she was approaching I knew it was bad news. So I pulled my dog into the a lake to use the water as a brace. Sure enough that crazy dog went airborne and landed right on my dog. My Lab is so NOT a fighter and even though he had the Boxer by 45 to 50 pounds he would not fight. I was close to drowning the dog. I was fully clothed in jeans and all and now I was neck deep in water. On shore I could hear his owner and older female saying " Honey, no no be nice" "WTF". I myself need knee surgery and was in great and further pained by the idiot owner. Finally a nice guy down the way came and took the Boxer from me, I was able to keep the Boxer from doing any harm. SO I make the Boxer's owner leash her as we leave. I had enough and was way past angry. Finally I get my dog in the Jeep and start driving down this dirt windy road only to hear a large BAM against my Jeep only to see the crazy boxer is now jumping up and down scratching my new Jeep to no end. Another "WTF" moment that cause to loose all of my remaining temper. I carry a dog mace with me and maced the dog. Sorry I do a lot of animal rescue and love all dogs but his one I had it with and I do blame the owner more. But I am not going to be bit a second time by this dog nor am I going to have to cause more damage to the Jeep. The dog goes of yelping and I get out to once again find its Nutty owner. Who by the way was now with the dog (like it should have remained from the attack) Snuggling the dog calling it Lovey Bear. REALLY????????? Now they are paying my med bills as well as the truck damages. WTF is wrong with some people.

    The WTF moment that comes to mind is when my dog got stuck under the bed. I still don't have a clue how he managed to get there. I'd just moved into my current house and was in the middle of unpacking. I had a about ten boxes surrounding my bed that were filled with books and other heavy items. I could barely move the boxes so I don't see how he could.

    I had sent him upstairs because he'd been driving me nuts as I was trying to unpack. All of a sudden when I was in the kitchen I heard this scuffling sound from upstairs accompanied by frantic whimpering. I go upstairs and somehow - I still don't have a clue how - Hooch had managed to get himself under the bed and was stuck under there, crawling around on his belly howling to get out. Now remember all the boxes I have around my bed. A mouse couldn't have got past them, let alone a dog and they hadn't been moved at all. There was no other conceivable way he'd got under there either as the bed was firmly against the wall and there was a pile of stuff on top of it. I'm still utterly clueless how he managed it. I guess I'll never find out either LOL.

    Nothing on a par with some of the other WTF moments but it confounded me at the time..

    After three years I hadn't found any one trigger to motivate my male Dobermann to work, so when a friend was working his gun dog & suggested testing Jacob with a training dummy I agreed.

    Of course Jacob immediately focused on the ratty thing, shot off after in, retrieved & delivered it back to my feet. WTF? Needless to say I purchased one & his training has taken off in a new direction!

    The sandal incident was ridiculous & the dog should have recalled to the owner & dropped the sandal on command. Bribe a dog for good behavior? Cold day in hell before that happens with my dogs.

    I've had a couple.

    Dog related: A client at a vet hospital that I used to work at complained to me that she thought it was "stupid and unfair" that the AKC wouldn't recognize/register her dog. The "breed"? A LABRA-MUTT!

    Non-dog related, but more WTF than I think I've ever experienced: Just read that a lady is going to sue Google. Why? She used Google Maps to get walking directions to someplace, and part of the route didn't yet have a sidewalk, so she walked in the middle of the road and got HIT BY A CAR.

    I take both of my dogs to the park occasionally to socialize with all the cute little kids. Well there is this one girl that is there all the time and just loves my dogs. It would be fine, but she is just so ANNOYING. She just spews out random (and incorrect) "facts" about dogs that make no sense.

    "Oh, he's chewing on that toy, I think it's because he's gonna lose his tooth. Did you know that most dogs only loose one tooth? My dog only lost one baby tooth, I still have it."

    Thanks for telling me all of that untrue crap, little girl! A) He's six months old, he lost all of his baby teeth about two months ago. B) Just because you only found one, doesn't mean he only lost one.

    What was more annoying is he was playing with her, and she randomly just hit him on the head, because he scratched her or something. I never hit my dogs EVER and here she comes thinking that she has the authority to punish my dog!

    It wouldn't be so bad except she's fourteen, she shouldn't be that stupid!

    @ Hooch, that's happened to me before! Holly sleeps in my room and she will try to sleep under my bed sometimes. She can get under there, but she can't get out so I have to pull her out. That's actually how I wake up in the morning sometimes. She doesn't attempt getting out til she wakes up in the morning.

    @ Dog lover, He's so SCARY! I think he may "cute" somebody to death!

    Dude, what I am lmfao about is your story! Which did the dog take, the sandal as you stated in the beginning, or the sock as you stated in the end. Too much smoke maybe?

    One of my friend's daughters, who is 29 years old, worked at 2 Vet clinics in the past, and is now a Police Officer allowed her Pom to breed her first heat. Three puppies were produced and she didn't even look to see what sex they were for 4 days, let alone take the Dam to the Vet and have the pups checked and dew claws removed. Boy, did *I* have steam coming out of my ears......that was my last WTF thing that I heard about. Oh, and one of the pups is said to be a blue roan so it should get more money. I should emphasizes on the F in wtF.
