Dogs love hide-and-seek. They're not so great at hiding, but seeking is where they're Vikings [ambient barks]. Usually [baffled barks].

That girl in the third link is really good at holding still. And her dog is indeed a bit slow. Good thing he's cute.

And just like that I'm watching 101 Dalmatians tonight. Because dogs and Disney and happy.

Also, we don't deserve dogs.

Wait, does the dog in the last link ever find the girl?

I read a Dave Barry bit one time about having a dog so stupid it could watch you put the ball under the blanket and not be able to find it.

One day soon I will give her the dog intelligence test, where you show her the ball, then you put the ball under a blanket, and then you see if she can find the ball. Shawna could never find the ball. I doubt Augie could find the blanket.

Not if this heartbreaking diary entry is correct.

Huh, they screwed up the gag at the end (you can probably guess what it is). God I read a lot of Dave Barry as a kid. To be fair looking this far back he hadn't descended into full hackdom yet.

Yes, I noticed that some editor presumably "corrected" the ending.
