A squirrel ran in front of my dog. My dog chased it into the pine tree and went around to the other side to catch it. The squirrel ran up the tree and startled a rabbit which came running out the other side. My dog gave it a confused look and decided that it was still chasable.
Last week my dog, Aussie/Pyrenees mix, chased a fox. I spotted the fox first and when I told him “Get it…Fox”, he saw it. To my surprise, he did not run directly at the fox 50 yards away. He circumvented behind two yard sheds running at full speed and was within ten feet of that fox when he came upon it. What a great chase across the field….right on that fox’s tail! The fox escaped when it made it to dense underbrush, but my dog had done his job and very excited because of it all.

They’re both going to get away if he can’t decide to go left or right.

I’d go for the rabbit. More meat in the rabbit.

I worked for a lady who had two lethargic dogs. That is until a rabbit shows up and you never saw anything move so fast in your life…..

Rabbits first per my dog. They don’t climb. My pup has offed two rabbits in our garden so far but no squirrels. It’s a dog’s nature to hunt.

Do you know the story of the donkey who starved between two bales of hay?

Good thing there’s no duck, Koko.

I wonder if Koko even has a chasing license?

Go for the rabbit… it can’t run up the nearest tree.

My dog actually faced this situation the other day! (Picked rabbit)

He would have started chasing the squirrel immediately and not stood around waiting for the rabbit.

Neighbor’s dog got nailed by a skunk this morning. He now refers to it as the new social distancing.

I suspect collusion.
