What's the worst thing your dog has ever done?

[MizElz]

Our youngest Labrador, Dinnie (see below thread for proof of greediness) has had several mishaps; the worst was when she was just coming up a year old. We had a George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine in our kitchen...it was on the worktop, beside our cooker. Well, one day we left Dinnie and her mum together in the kitchen - we'd not had any problems with them before - and popped out for an hour or so. Came back to find that Dinnie had jumped up on the kitchen side, pushing George Foreman onto the cooker hob....in doing so, she had flicked the hob knobs (LOL!) on...needless to say, Georgie Foreman was a mangled, melted pile of gooey plastic, and cooker had to be claimed for on the insurance!

Thing is, our family didnt learn their lesson about cookers and dogs; in our new house, we have a utility room where there is a spare cooker; clean washing invariably gets piled upon it ready to be taken upstairs - which is ok, providing cooker has been turned off (it hardly ever gets used). But Dinnie has already managed to set fire to two piles of washing....I have developed a complex about the cooker, and don't trust any of my family anymore!

When my black lab Bess was a puppy I had put her in the passenger footwell for a very short journey in my brand new 2 weeks old Freelander. When we got there I noticed that the immobiliser light was flashing. Turned out that she had chewed through a wire dangling under the front passenger seat wrecking the whole car immobiliser wiring.

The whole car had to be rewired at vast cost, Landrover had to send specialists up from England to do the job. Luckily I only had to pay half the cost, and they met the rest of the cost. They have since, I think, modified them so that there is no dangling yellow wire, but anyone with a very old one should be careful.

Stella bit someone's bum

A dog walker at the park was running around, shouting, whistling, trying to get all the dogs to chase him for some insane reason. In the end, he had about a dozen dogs of all shapes and sizes hurtling after him, barking and jumping up. Stella got so whipped up in the excitement that she barged to the front of the pack, jumped three feet in the air and nipped the guy's bum. I suppose it was some kind of latent herding instinct to get him to behave.

She has yet to do anything like that since, and doesn't so much as flicker an eyelid when my young nephews run about the place screaming.

Guess the guy had a nice bum

In any case, I told her off.

Hilarious

At the park recently, the local dog owners' association were selling cake and coffee for charity. Only, a huge Shepherd had other ideas; he leapt up onto the table and knocked a carrot cake to the ground, after which scores of dogs appeared from nowhere to assist with clean-up.

Ours was a very aloof dog and not one to overtly go to people for fussing. One Summer's night we were out for a walk and a young couple were having a romantic picnic along the riverside. The lady called to him for a stroke and he refused as usual, next thing he bounded forward, avoiding their outstretched hands and nicked their picnic chicken, running smartly away1 I was mortified! I apologised and offered to pay for a pub supper but they were very understanding...on the way home little kiddies fishing and had left a big bag of Sensations crisps and Pringles open....now I was very confident as our dog doesn't like crisps....he trotted over and promptly cocked his leg and weed all into and over the kids crisps!!!! I had to run to the pub and buy them more!!!!!
Bad dog!

We always use our chip pan outside due to the smell it leaves in the house. We'd left it out on the step to cool, but someone let The Beast up without checking it was out of the way. Problem is, the wind had blown the chip pan over. The Beast proceeded to eat all of the oil out of the chip pan.

It took ages to rinse all the minging oil out of her beard. Brougt her back downstairs from her bath and she threw up the entire lot of oil on our good living room carpet!

It was totally destroyed and had to be replaced.

My rotti.....smashed the back window of my brand new freelander....as some knobber allowed ther dog to jump up at my car finding it highly amusing that she was going for the dog through the car window.....she popped the back heated windscreen completely out

it would have cost me £700 if I had not been fully comp.

BEST THING IS.....she stayed in the car once window was out...cos she is all gob

LUCKY FOR THE FECKLESS dog owner

When my black lab Poppy was less than a year old, she flounced in from the garden in that way that labs do when they've discovered a real treat, something horrendous to roll in or a decomposing rabbit.

A few minutes later, she was very, very sick about 5 times all over the living room carpet, then retched bile for a further 10 minutes.

But it wasn't normal sick, it was jet black, oozing, fizzing, disgusting stinking stuff, and I was retching myself as I was clearing it up. My husband just looked on in horror with his hand over his mouth (why is it always me?!)

We worked out that she'd been digging up our cats poo out of the flower beds and eating it.

Ugh!

Thankfully, it made her so sick and ill she didn't do it again.

Labs are foul! But I adore her as if I actually gave birth to her, sometimes I have to remind myself I didn't and she's not a human baby!!

Left the keys in my new car, just like I used to in the old one, at the not too local shops. The boys managed to push the lock! I tried to get them to tread on the boot release by winding them up running from one side to the other, but they got fed up with that pretty quick coveniently forgot their names and settled on the seats to watch the crazy woman!

I had to go back into the shop, leave my shopping and ask them for a loan for the bus fare. I had spent all my cash in the shop!!!

I had to wait half an hour for the bus (about as rare round here as Rocking Horse Sh1t) bus it home crawl in the dog flap and retrieve the spare keys and run for the only connecting bus back to the car! Where I found them sound asleep!!! Haven't done it again!!!

The worst thing our dog every done was eat the arm off our sofa! My mum had let him out at 8.30 and we came home at 10.30 but he was miffed so he had destroyed the sofa.. you have no idea how much foam is in a sofa.. Also when he was in a mood one morning, he usually sits on the foot stool at the living room window he chewed the window sill!!! when i came home a hour or so later he was well chuffed with himself and actually picked up a piece of the wood he had pulled of the window sill to show me!!! I was speechless.. Needless to say i didnt talk to him for the rest of the day.. The footstool aint by the window anymore and he hasnt touched the window sill again ever since i put crib box on it!! christ only knows what my visitors think tho.

When Buffy (mums dog) was a pup she ate my phone, my riding hat and pulled all the plaster of the kitchen wall in the space of about a week!

She's very well behaved now, although they do like to investigate the contents of the bin sometimes if they are feeling abandoned!

Alfie - well his worst habit is chewing the crotch out of ladies trousers!

He's done my best jods and 2 lots of jeans, then he did my friends jeans this weekend!!! We were both a bit worried before we shared the information that we were, errm, a bit whiffy!!

 

[Would_I]

Don't even get me started hes a JRT!!

When my lab was about 8 months old he had just started going beating with the local shoot.

One day I took him for a walk around the woods at the back of our stables, and was coming back into the stableyard not paying much attention that the dog wasn't with me.

Called him and he came bounding back with one of the neighbours pedigree chickens between his jaws

Dropped it at my feet and thankfully it ran off relatively unscathed!

However the feathers accross the lawn were a giveaway so I caught said chicken and delivered back to neighbour very apologetically!

My Border T and I were walking in the park, and passed a lady at a picnic table with a little boy, how sweet I thought, next to them was one of those pop up little tent things for kiddies. I thought it was the little boys.

next thing Taggie Terriorist has run off at 100 mph, under the side flap of the tent and after a muffled scuffle, run out the front flap of it with a large snadwich stuffed in her mouth, followed a few seconds later by a toddler girl staggering out of the tent crying and telling her mummy weepingly that a monster took her sandwich out of her hand.

What was most embarrassing was that she knew she was in trouble so I couldnt catch her and she was gulping down sandwich while evading me - not a very good example.

She also specialises in frisking rucksacks on football touchlines and eating croissants from them.....

One of our current dogs opens the fridge and eats everything in it. It now has a child lock on it.
Our old dog used to open the cupboards and take everything out. Any food was eaten and everything else was either ripped up or scattered across the floor. They had to have child locks put on too.
He also used to rip up his bedding, chew the furniture and he once chewed through his lead when he was tied up, but then stood there.

I haven't had this one long enough for anything to go REALLY wrong, although he did "fetch" my brand new mobile I dropped and put his tooth through the screen.

My last dog was great but had her moments and she was often "her own dog". I had a housemate for a bit who turned out to be completely bonkers and the dog ripped up more than one item of her clothing. Since she'd never done it before and never did it to anyone else I suspect it was a personal comment. I paid up obviously but quickly made other living arrangements!

Most agonising drama was picking up a round bale in the back of my pickup on a VERY cold Canadian winter's day - at least -20C - with her in the cab of the truck. The farmer had just left the bale on the loader for me as no one was going to be home so I loaded up then stopped to drop the money at the house on the way out . . . Shadow got barking at the farm dogs and hit the door lock! So running truck with my phone inside it, dangerously cold, on an empty farm miles from anywhere. . .I think I cried but the tears froze before I felt them! I don't even really remember much except panicking but with the inspiration borne of desperation I somehow broke into the shop in the barn and found tools to break into the truck. I probably couldn't do it again if my life depended on it!

Throughout the dog sat warm and happy in the cab, wondering what the heck my problem was and why we weren't going home.

Whilst my friend was kindly looking after our dog, she thought it would be a good idea to take Meg to the beach for the day. Unfortunately, there was a sand castle competition on at the time and Meg was smitten with a beautiful mermaid sand sculpture and ran all over it, making a bit of a mess. Lots of apologies and then a hasty retreat was the name of the day! Don't think they've been back since...

My Dad left our 2 jack russells in the car while he was at the shop and they chewed though the horn wires. Dad had to drive home with it constantly beeping!

The worst thing digby the yorkie has ever done in his life is chew up a tissue!

Benson the black lab used to chew a lot when we was a puppy. He ate one of every pair of shoes he could find and even ate the oxford dictionary. When he was about 4 months old my mum caught him trying to drag her nikon wedding camera (value of over £1000

) through the dog flap!

Oscar the foxhound did all sorts of funny things. He had a bra fetish and would chew the straps off and then hide the remains in his bed. He chewed the armpits of any tops he could get hold and he absolutely loved chewing up woof boots or preferably expensive dalmar ones. He ripped up the carpet in 4 places in the dining room and gnawed at skirting boards and cabinets. On the morning of the day he died he chewed up my sisters purse but left the £60 in notes untouched. His worst thing was climbing into next doors garden, opening their back door and eating all their cat food and the food on the work surface

. Fortunately our neighbours loved him to bits and were very good about it

I still can't believe he's not with us anymore making us all laugh at his antics
