My Dog just brought a Rat inside the house!

Aww, but she brought you a present. Granted, it's a little nasty but I bet she's proud of herself. I'm just sayin'. Merry Christmas, Jenny.

Oh my. I would hate that if my dog was to bring in something like that. I hate rats anyway and snakes. I wander where your dog got the rat from, to bring in your house? I would be disgusted also.

This is the real problem with affectionate dogs that want to lick your face!

Oh poor little rat, and it was really disgusting. I know that feeling cause sometimes our black cat, kills and take home birds for lunch and dinner. Sometimes our pincher will join our cat, and damn that is crazy and gory. But you know, i cannot blame them, it's their wild instinct as animals, anyway they are still the carnivorous type of animals. Good thing our big dogs are not used to foods like that, cause if they do, they will sure be a nightmare for people who visit our home. Have a great day, and give many foods to your pet always.

Haha my cat and dog both love to bring in rats and mice all the time, it's disgusting! The other day my dog brought one into the house and all I could see sticking out of his mouth was this pink tail. It was a frozen mouse, and he was sucking on it like a Popsicle. I guess you could say he had a mousesicle :)

This was so digusting, not only you but every person in place of you geting engry and very much annoyed at your dog, this was so bad that.your dog brought a rat inside the house

I would not have just been annoyed, I would really be having a fit. I hate rats.

You don't have to bee so annoyed with your dog. Dogs are hunters and I think fox terriers especially!!! It's even seen in their breed - fox terrier!!!And if you knew if that rat was down by the coffee table than sorry, but shame on you that you first didn't take that rad and trow away!!! Once more - dogs are hunters and it's in their nature!!!

Why be annoyed, I would have much rather had my dog or cat rid my house of mice and rats, because once they have babies your house will be overrun by them. Having a pet that will catch these rodents that cause disease, bring in filth to your home, and deplete your food supply by breaking into boxes and things is a blessing, you should be pleased.

hi jennybianca oh wow a rat, our dog when we had our own home would bring us gifts like that too, really disgusting but they think they are doing you a big honor, its the nature of a dog, just like cats love to climb no matter where they climb on either. My first room mate had a cat who climbed all over her stuff and she would scream at it, and it just looked at her as if to say,you talking to me! so funny and the madder she got the more the cat would climb all over her stuff. once she quit yelling at him, he got down,curled up and went to sleep.I did not dare laugh as she was so angry. wow.

BELLA, FOX TERRIER HUMMMMMMMMM. Why r u so put out?????????????????????????? she did her job that is what terriers do, all of them.......WHEN U BUY A WORKING DOG U HAVE TO EXPECT THEM TO WORK, THAT'S WHAT THEY R BRED FOR... REMEMBER ALWAYS LUV/ CARE FOR YOUR DOG/ PET, THEY WILL ALWAYS LUV U.........

Ah Jenny this is too much, I'm not here, I cannot read your introduction, Just passing through for support and tell you I really cannot read anything with that vile foul scarey three letter word in it.

I wonder if dogs do that as a sign of appreciation or just to give the owner a gift. Maybe its to show they are powerful and a good guardian and protector. Anyway, I'm sure he won't be doing that again. I heard cats do that too.

The dog is great, I would like to have one. I'm amazed by it...

jennybianca, I suppose that was her way of bringing both the Christmas cheer and your Christmas present. Well, at least it will keep the rodents at bay and have second thoughts coming into your house for a meal. Lest they fancy having their last! Just be glad she did not bring you something more gross than the rat. Have a nice day and compliments of the season.

Just think she did you a favor. She got rid of the rat so that it could not make its way into your ceiling. I know it is still very disgusting and not something you wanted in your house either way but she is cheaper than an exterminator.

Your pet Bella is also doing the task of a cat.. but I guess she is trying to be the best pet she can ever be.. It is amazing..

Jenny,I don't think there is any reason why you should be annoyed with your dog.Dogs are supposed to be carnivores,remember??Trust me,if only he had the slightest idea how much disgusted you would have felt with this act of his,he would never have done it.I had a dog once who was so athletic,that it managed to catch and strangle pigeons who got temporarily trapped in the porch of our house.Not to mention,there were numerous instances of him catching and killing mice in the house.Mine is a vegetarian family and we are all hardcore animal lovers-whatever kind they may be of.We also hated the gruesome murders but since we knew that our harmless best friend didn't realize how much agony it caused to us,we never punished him for that.Yet, we did make it a point to admonish him every time he did something like that by expressing disgust at the act and by ignoring him for sometime.And believe it or not,it worked.We did it till he actually gave up the habit completely...:)

Yuck!!! just kick it out... it can sperd number of deacease if left unnoticed... better to dump them...

It might have been his Dog Instincts kicking in. Dogs like Fox Terrier used to be hunters back then. Fortunate for him he didnt get rabies or any diseases by biting that dirty rat.
