General Forum - Benton the naughty dog! - Page 1

that camera man was rubbish.

I had a similar embarrassing moment with my labrador about 15 years ago.
It was pouring with rain & he jumped into a very dirty canal.
I'm running along the canal, yelling my head off, & he's happy as a pig in you know what, swimming along without a care in the world.
When he climbs out, he's covered in green slime, very dirty & I'm on the wrong side of the water.

So, I turn round to go back to the nearest crossing.
I'm calling him, hoping he will run along the canal back to the crossing with me- no chance, he's having too much fun, rolling around in the mud, in the pouring rain.

So, with all the yelling, someone's called the Police.
As I get within 200 yards of my dog, a Police car shows up, blue lights flashing & siren going & scares the dog who ran off.

The two Coppers get out their car & are standing there laughing their heads off at me because by now I look a right mess, soaked to the skin & knackered from all the running.
As I ran past them I yelled out "thanks for the help. Wouldn't want to interrupt your donut time"
& went chasing after my dog.

This must of pi**ed them off because they jumped back into the car & sped to the end of the road, past both me & my dog.
The driver gets out, then leans down slapping his hands on this knees calling out to my dog "HERE BOY, COME HERE, GOOD DOG!"

I stopped dead, because I knew what was about to happen.

My very big, strong, very daft & very wet & dirty dog flew at this silly sod knocking him on his arse & covering him in the green slim, mud & water.

By the time I got there, the one covered in daft dog was trying to pull out his truncheon, but with a very happy, very smelly dog thinking the nice man wants to play, he's covering his torso, licking this copper like his life depends on it.

The second Policeman is standing at the front of the car, doubled over, laughing so hard he's got tears running down his face.

I grab my dog, hooked a lead to him & run so fast I reckon I could of given Usain Bolt something to worry about, because I think he would of charged me with everything he could of thought of if I'd given him the opportunity to do so.
He looked like he had fallen face first in a pig pen, & smelled like it as well.

I had to hose my dog down outside before washing him because he was very smelly.
Not much mud & slim was left on him, he seemed to have left most of that on the front of the Policeman's white shirt.

right now i know whos dog it was... me and my mates will be around!

Heh, nowhere near as funny a story, but involves our family dog and canal.

When we were kids we went on a few canal boat holidays, and we had a golden retriever who didn't like the water at all. She also had this habit that when she met another dog, she'd approach them and then stop when a few feet away and do the play bow thing.

She'd hold that playbow wagging her tail until the other dog got within sniffing distance, then she'd leap backwards about 4 feet in a random direction and repeat over and over.

One morning, my dad takes her down the canal tow path for her daily walk, and she comes across another dog. Playbows, leaps back, falls wiley cayote style into the canal and gets a huge shock as she lands in the water and desperately panics trying to get out.

Other dog owner is distraught with a misplaced sense of responsibility and guilt for the dunking and is desperately helping to drag the dog out of the canal, apologising profusely whilst my dad just finds the whole thing funny.

am I the only one wondering why the dog was not on a lead in a deer park?



RIP Julie & Maisie 

It's Richmond Park, it's not a "deer park". I don't think the deer are there all the time.

Oh yes it is:

Richmond Park is a 2,360 acre (9.55 km2; 3.69 sq mi)[1] park within London. It is the largest of the Royal Parks in London and Britain's second largest urban walled park after Sutton Park, Birmingham. It is close to Richmond, Ham, Kingston upon Thames, Wimbledon,Roehampton and East Sheen.[2] The park is famous for its red and fallow deer, which number over six hundred.


As the park is an area of special scientific interest and a Nature Reserve, all dog owners are required to keep their dogs under control while in the park. This includes not allowing their dog to disturb other park users or disrupt wildlife[8] In 2009, after some incidents leading to the death of wildfowl, park's dogs on leads policy was extended.[9


Like many other dog owners he probably just takes no notice of 'dogs must be kept on a lead' and 'no dog fouling' signs..  

Funny clip though...

Nice easy way to get a video on Pootube and get some hits for it...

Wouldn't have been quite so funny if the dog was on a lead or the lad filming wasn't quite ready for the dog running into the shot...
