Boyhood memory: A black cocker spaniel named Toby–same as the dog in this video–chased a squirrel up a tree; and had so much momentum, he ran right up the trunk, after the squirrel. Only then did he realize he was now stranded up a tree and had no idea how to get down. He had to be rescued with a ladder. P.S.–he never did it again.
That is funny. I remember a very similar situation happening at my younger son’s place several years ago when a dog was chasing a squirrel. In that instance, the dog had to
get himself down and wound up hurting his hind leg, but not too badly.
Wow, that’s quite a little climber. Apparently, four legs makes for great stability. Toby seemed to do this effortlessly.
