What did happen to this thread? Renamed? It was the barn thread. Not that I have anything against dogs. I have one of them too.
Yesterday we stopped to turn around while out on a ride that was about 170 miles. View attachment 242872

This is Wicket on the right. A friend was over with the dog on the left. Wicket is named after the Ewok on Return of the Jedi. He looked just like him as a puppy as you can see. He is now 6.

At this juncture, my favorite dog photo is Skull's, because it appears to really capture the personality of his pet, and its relationship with the owner.

I had to kill a pygmy rattlesnake that my Rat Terrier, Zeke, had cornered today. Pesky little bastards those pygmy's are. Generally won't kill an adult human, but deadly to a dog.
 
I found this fella in the Tasmanian bush, thought he looked interesting, so took him home. No idea what breed he is. He's got a really big gob, he doesn't walk well on lead and isn't very friendly, but I like him. And boy can he eat, fits a whole chook in his mouth, don't even need to pluck them.
Funny thing, whenever I take him for a walk around the neighbourhood, all the neighbours scatter, I don't know why - bad breath perhaps?

Awwwwww, he's so cute.

Yeah, I thought he was cute, that's why I rescued him. Not many left, I've never seen another. The dopey, local farmers thought they were killing their sheep, so hunted and killed as many as they could. Nothing could be further from the truth: Their Jaws, despite opening very wide, just didn't have the power to kill sheep, they were better suited to small animals around 5kg.
They are very unusual though, both males and females have backward facing pouches unusual for dogs, females keep their young in them, males keep their nuts in them.
They suffer from an. Identity crisis though, they can stand on their hind legs and hop on occasion.
Tasmanians say they see them all the time, they're probably related to the people in your neck of woods who say they see bigfoot all the time, either them or the people from Deliverance!
 
What have we done?
The Thylacine and so many other species, wiped off the face of the earth by us. This is a colourised video of a thylacine, the B&W video is a video of Benjamin, the last Thylacine, he died in the Tasmanian zoo in 1938. The last 'wild thylacine was shot in 1930 by a Tasmanian farmer.
Of course there have been many sightings of the thylacine since Benjamin died, no pictures, no scat, no proof. Some scientists believe the thylacine may have lived on into the 90s before dying out, again, no pics, no scat, no proof.
Interestingly, there's an ongoing attempt to clone the thylacine using DNA from a preserved pup.


 
Here's another dog I picked up in Tasmania. Again, not sure of the breed, but like the Basenji, he doesn't bark. He bit me on the calf yesterday, so, I went to the hospital and they sewed my leg back on. Like I said he doesn't bark, but the noise he makes is terrifying. Great for scaring of home invaders and burglars, hell he scares me!

On a serious note, the devil has the strongest bite force quotient in the animal kingdom, ie, the stongest bite in relation to size.

His bark is scary, but definitely not worse than his bite:

 
why is it when you point your camera at your dog they always manage to show their best pathetic look?
