The phrase “big dumb dog” gets thrown around a lot, but there’s more to their sometimes questionable actions then just intelligence. Dogs get very excited and might just get caught up in a moment of joy that they end up making some comical decisions. Take the video compilation below as an example — watch as these dogs try to force sticks twice the size of themselves through small doorways and gates.
You could say these dogs aren’t the brightest bulbs in the box but to give them the benefit of the doubt, I think they’re just so excited to find the perfect stick, they’re not thinking clearly! One things for sure, these dogs won’t give up. They’re determined to get through those small openings with their perfect new stick.
Yet what really makes this video comical is their reactions. In all the excitement, these pups just can’t figure out why the stick won’t go any further. Flashes of frustration, bewilderment, and stubbornness seem to ignite on their faces throughout the video compilation making for a good chuckle and of course a little rooting for the underdog, pun intended!

I laughed for a second as I thought their humans would help & guide them – then I felt so bad as the laughing continued – I wanted the dogs to succeed – shame on their humans
As for the rest of you, no, the sticks will not hurt their mouths. Otherwise they would not continue. Yes, the owners could have shown the dogs how to do it. I am a staunch animal advocate, including “embarrassing” them, but a couple of minutes is not going to cause any harm whatsoever. Most of you could do with some education in both animal behavior, and in construction of a complete sentence.
Sorry. I’m just getting tired of reading posts that are not well thought out, not to mention a seeming inability to write just one simple sentence.
