I would certainly share. But only with those who are capable of thought, and believe dogs are also. LMAO. Small bunch, if the video thread is any indication. LOL.

I just dropped my son off at his weekly Boy Scout meeting. I was as I started up the Suburban, I saw a streak of blue bolt infront of my truck. I put it in park opened the door and followed. It was a paniced little boy - just past potty training age in blue footit P.J's. His brother was inside and was suposed to be watching the child. His mother went back to her car to bring some supplies into the meeting place.
The boy's brother got busy hanging with the other scouts, a boy opened the door, the toddler shot out and was running in the parking lot, in a panic looking for his mother. I picked the toddler up and headded back into the building, as his mom was on her way out in a bigger panic. The brother came out a few seconds later, to help his mom. The brother didn't even realize his baby brother was missing.
That's how a toddler get to the middle of a parking lot without anyone knowing.
These things happen!

MissBeeb!!!!
A very good friend of mine is head chair at a teaching zoo near me. I am head over heels in love with their Hyena. He is such flirty sly old boy. He likes the students to rub him through the fence too, he's all sweet and lovey dovey....but if they look away he teaches them a very important lesson about paying attention, he will suddenly lunge & hit the fence hard and aggressively.....VERY frightening stuff, but you never forget it.
He is scarey smart too. He never forgets anything, and even runs through and modifies his own behaviours as if he is constantly testing what he can do.
He had a huge waterer in his enclosure. It's bigger than himself. One day he picked it up (full of water) in his jaws and walked around with it as if it was nothing. They are incredibly strong, and amazing animals.
He is my crush, but alas, always from a distance.....if I want to keep my parts.

SitasMom: Kids get away in the situation you describe, a school, many other kids, teachers, parents, lots of distractions.
That's a LOT different from a schutzhund field or a field where people are training dogs for bite work, so no, that kind of thing doesn't just happen. Do you really think at any club the little babies are off playing by themselves so that they actually could somehow wander onto the field where the dog is being worked???? No, because if someone brings a toddler to the field (WHICH no one DOES) they would be supervised 100% of the time. This just couldn't have happened. ALSO the helper was with the damn dog and would have seen the child and said something and kept the dog on the sleeve and with him before this wunderkind child could have run up and grabbed the damn dog in the first place.
This is just Tina's version of the magic lugie story all over again.

Sue,
The more you and Missbeeb talk about these diabolical hyenas, the more I WANT a few folks to end up with a dog that is part hyena...as long as I get to watch!!!

Sue, IIRC, Tina was training her dogs at home when this happened. She and her (ex) husband did this for a living at the time, training dogs for police work and PP.

we don't allow childern under 18 to attend and only children 14 and up parents don't watch the kids enough and eventually something will happen. IF they are junior handlers. If someone brings a child, we stop what we're doing and aske them to leave.

I seem to recall that Irco was sold to Italy.
So I was told at the time, very shortly before I threw his owner out of my home. I never kenw what to believe, if the dog had really been sold at all or was being hidden in Germany till after the divorce. Although half of the responsibility for paying a personal loan to his owner's best friend...) was awarded to me, I never knew if that loan actually existed or was contrived as one more way to divest me of what little I had left when that person moved on. I do know I never saw any money from the sale... but that's all academic now.
...and NO, I did NOT pay half of the trumped up "loan." LOL

I can't imagine keeping one as a pet, Sue!
They're so very different... I loved Jimmy and he liked me well enough, he liked everyone, but he was not tame... they never are.
Frankly, I was a complete liability when I worked there; I truly believed that no animal would ever hurt me, because I loved them... lol. It was a long time ago!

Neither could I, and I have no illusions about what would happen if I was ever so dumb as to even stick my hand into his enclosure (I would end up with a stump if I was lucky), but still I am in love with the big galoot! I think much of that comes from the fact that relatively little is known about the much maligned Hyena, they remain a mystery and really in a class by themselves, compared to the other large carnivores.
To be clear, the one I described is not tame and is not a pet, he resides at a teaching zoo. I have a particular disgust for people so arrogant, stupid and selfish to try and raise any wild animal as a pet.
