This video was sent to me by a co-worker yesterday. A dog bravely defends a bone at all costs… against its own foot. Very weird.

  1. Too funny! At last I get to see a dog that is crazier than the 2 idiots that share my home. Thanks for the laugh.

  3. [IMG Donttouchmybone]Here’s a video that’s been going around the Net lately. It’s titled–for reasons that will become obvious if they aren’t already–”Don’t touch my bone.” CLICK TO WATCH. OR GO HERE TO DOWNLOAD. It’s funny! A lot of folks have been wondering what’s going on in the mind of the dog in the video. At first glance, his behavior certainly seems strange, and hypothetically he could have a canine equivalent of one of those disorders where a part of

  4. I don’t find this funny, in fact I think it’s sad. It looks like the dog has a severe neurological or behavioral problem and doesn’t connect mentally with his own rear leg.

  5. Roxanne: I think the dog is just playing!

    My late cat, Riley, loved to play “fight the hand.” He’d play at biting and scratching my hand, lay his ears back, kick my arm with his hind legs, go all wild-eyed… but never actually make a scratch.

    If I didn’t verbally praise him for being such a fierce fighter while he was doing all this, he’d eventually stop and give me this look like “Don’t you see what a great show I’m putting on here?”

    Too get a look at some other views on the dog’s state of mind, as well as testimonies from some people whose dogs do similar stuff, check out the comments on this post at Jimmy Akin dot org.

  9. This is a copy of the winning entry on “America’s Funniest Videos” I’m glad someone vidcapped it. I’ve seen it several times on reruns and my sides hurt every time I see it. The dog’s owners claim it was an every day event.

"Geisteskrankheit" dieser Hund eigentlich hat… … denn ihm scheint hier irgendetwas wichtiges, an dem kleinen "Störenfried" in seiner Nähe, zu entgehen und was er wohl nicht so ganz in Einklang mit seiner Welt bringen kann. However… ich finde es schon irgendwie lustig. ;) […]

  16. Do you think his leg is being pulled by fishing line, or something equally difficult to detect? Strange behavior.
