Whilst we love to spend time with and watch our dogs, it would appear that they also like watching and even in some instances imitating us. Max the Golden Retriever featured in this clip seems very enthusiastic about his dummy. The first thing to note and congratulate the dog about is how he has managed to position the dummy in exactly the right place. I mean that takes a certain amount of skill in the first place.
But when his mummy tries to take the dummy away, Max is not having any of it. Every time she reaches for the dummy he pats her hand away with one of those big paws of his, and it certainly looks like he has no intention whatsoever of giving up his dummy. I am guessing there must be a baby or toddler in the house that Max has learned this trick from. Brilliant.
