Twice in the last month I’ve heard of people who found a dog and just kept it. So kudos to this kind soul who’s working to reunite a terrier with his human companion. And kudos to this fine blogger for helping out. Do unto others. And remember Terrier Logic # 9: Persistence usually pays off. “Lost and Found Dog” doesn’t mean “Finder’s Keepers”.

SERVICE TERRIERS
Service dogs are often trained to alert others if their person gets into trouble. Sometimes they run circles around a wheelchair and other times they bark until help comes. A good job for a vocal breed group.
Terriers are good working dogs. For many, ‘service work’ is great casting for their skills, sensitivities and loyal natures.
Read more about Bingo, the Jack Russell Terrier, who has lived his life according to Terrier Logic:
3. Love your human companion with all your heart.
9. Remember persistence pays off.
11. Tune into every thought and feeling your human companion has.
13. Bark until your (good) work is acknowledged.

Terrier Play. Terrier Joy. Don’t stop me now.
The Parkour Terrier video reminded me of this rocking, old classic YouTube video of two Border Terriers having such a good time playing to Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now“. You’ll feel happy just watching them.
Nothing makes me belly laugh as much as watching my Bossy and Bark (both Borders)tear through the woods, run around and jump over the bushes, ducking, diving and rolling. Stopping long enough to lap some water. Two dogs, one bowl. Ear to ear. Two sets of tags raining on the side of the dish. Then off again they go for more laps around the yard before they finally flop down, sides-heaving, with the most satisfied grins on their sweet faces. Now that’s all-out Terrier Play.
Watch it now: Don’t stop me now… – YouTube. And laugh with me.
This video also might answer a question just asked online:
“Why does my Border Terrier bark and pull me when he sees other dogs on his walk?” Wouldn’t you, if you had so much fun with your friends? Too bad people don’t work so hard to get more joy into their lives. Another reminder from our precious canine friends to Live with passion. That’s Terrier Logic # 12.
Parkour Terrier
Parkour dog. This astonishing Staffordshire Terrier makes most terriers look comatose. Watch this RIVETING video (follows a short commercial not of my doing–sorry–it’s worth the wait).
This boy understands Terrier Logic # 12: Live with Passion. You’ll never look at a standard agility course the same way. And you’ll probably join me in never whining about your high-energy terrier ever again.
We should all Live With the Spirit of Parkour.
