Gretchen saved the day
« on: August 24, 2005, 05:59:14 pm »
The other day my son Tyler left the cage open and his rabbit "Clover" escaped. Since she is a dwarf rabbit she is really tiny and I thought for sure that she was coyote bait. Tyler decided to put Gretchen to a tracking test. With her on her leash he took her to the rabbit cage and told her to "bring it" ??? Gretchen started sniffing and led Tyler to the barn. After sniffing around she led Tyler (so he says) to the rabbit. I know this is hard to believe but the rabbit was found by Gretchen. Tyler and I looked for 2 hours and couldn't find her. ::)

That's not hard to believe at all.  Dogs use their noses as the dominant sense and so it is natural for Gretchen to follow the scent of the rabbit out of curiosity.  I think it is perfectly normal and not far-fetched at all.  What a good girl!!!!!
