Don't let the cute dufus looks fool you, he's a conniving little shit.

Asked my daughter what she wanted to do on her last full day in Alaska. Her answer, "I don't care what we do we just have to include Bandit." So we packed a picnic lunch, grabbed the dog and headed up Hatcher Pass only to have mother nature cop a 'tude and rain us out.

On the way down the pass I suddenly felt the back of my neck was wet. Turn around and see Bandit had hit the switch for the power window and rolled down one of the rear windows of the truck all of the way. Just in time for a truck passing the other direction to spray the entire back of the cab in watery mud. He was standing there with his front paws on the window sill, leaning out in the wind with a muddy brown muzzle looking quite happy with himself.

I figured just a fluke, he must have accidentally hit the switch standing on the arm rest with his front paws. Nope, I rolled it backup to just a crack and he rolled it back down. This went on 3 more times before i finally flipped the lock switch for the windows ruining his fun and freedom.

Yes, he's smart and a pain in the ass, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

LOLOLOLOL, that reminds me of a German Sheperd I had as a kid. He did something bad, so we put him in time out in the bathroom. He turned the sink on full blast. In the fenced yard, he'd open the gate latch with his nose and terrorize the neighborhood then come back and latch it back.....all sorts of fun stuff.

Well, he's half German Shepherd and half Karelian Bear Dog, so I figure I'm pretty much screwed.

This is my buddy Bandit. He's my neighbors dog up at the lake but he comes for a visit quite often. Seems to be a resemblance.

^^^^ That's a little spooky.

Rule 2

Never brag on your dog; he’ll piss on your boot.

Oh he's a smart trickster himself.

My Australian Cattle Dog is a PIA. Plays me and the mrs. like like a fiddle. Highway is very independent and very protective of us. He is our CRAZY, Hot Mess of a dog.

Our first dog was a pound pup we named Bandit. She was so smart and always the alpha in the family.

My dog likes the passenger window open, while her head is out she occasionally will trip the switch and the window will close.

She looks over and gives me that "Why did you close the window on me?" look.

If you own a smarter dog than you are just remember that you do not admit it. .................drill sgt.

We had a Basset (the black one in my avatar). A chapter in a magazine on Bassets I have is titled "Smarter Than You." Bassets are often labeled 'dumb' since they are hard to train, but they are one of the smartest breeds (Bassets are notoriously stubborn, and aren't as eager to please as other breeds). He trained my wife to fetch his ball for him. I consider them "Lex Luthor Smart," since they use their intelligence for nefarious purposes. . .

You think Bassett hounds are stubborn - try a Brittany!!

Pulled the keys from the ignition to run in and grab a sub sandwich,

Laid them on the seat to remove my sunglasses , shut the door and went inside.

7 pound Belle, the min fox terrior jumps on the door lock button to see where I am going w/o her.

AAA will take 90 minutes,
so,
I hike a mile to the house and back for the spare set of keys

Our Third Basset, Bella loves to have her nose in the wind, and will roll the windows down in my truck. thing is her paws are large, so since the same switch is up or down, occasionally she'll roll them up on herself, so I have to lock them down as well.

I had a German Shorthaired Pointer that would do the same with the U latch on a chain link fence. After I figured it out, I had to start locking the latch with a carabiner to keep her in.

The funny part was that she could jump straight up about 5+ feet from a standing position, and even higher with a running start. But she never jumped over the fence. Once she could no longer unlatch the gate, she just stayed inside the fence.

So far as you know. . .
