Title: In Moscow, stray dogs ride the subway
Post by: DGuller on April 21, 2010, 12:37:13 PM
I randomly came across this story, and found it very amazing.  I knew that dogs can be intelligent, but had no idea they can be this intelligent.

yeah.
An uncle of mine used to have a dog that semi-regularly took the train to brussels and back (he lived in Ostend). The train for godsakes! They never even run on time!

Where do they find all the spare human testicles to attach to these dogs, I wonder?  :hmm:

My Great Uncles dog used to know when he'd get off work. The dog would leave the house and arrive at his work place a few miles away just in time to meet him as he left the office.

In Ukraine, we had a dog that was originally a stray.  Our family stayed at some resort in the Carpathian mountains, and there were stray dogs there.  I found the food in the resort to be terrible, and so one of those strays was well-fed throughout our stay there. 

On our bus ride back, we discovered midways through that the dog sneaked onto the bus stealthily.  It was very smart of her, since we would've kicked her out if we saw her get on.  By the time we detected her, there was nothing to be done, so she became our dog.

Why are Russian/Ukrainian stray dogs so much more clever than their Turkish counterparts?  Must be the human testicles.

Less testicle talk, thanks. Dgul might dunk 'em in his mouth.

I've spent the last 3 hours reading about the damage done to Armenian sites in Eastern Turkey.  This really cheered me up.   :lol:

Psellus has a thing for testicles as well as turning women gay.

I've seen stories about dogs who figure out how to take busses and take trips on them but taking a metro is a lot more impressive.
