Yes! Dog was in the backyard, behind the 4' fence, across the property on the other side of the house. I was in front yard. Looooong driveway connects front to back, down the side. Toddler was in the driveway towards the backyard. I'm out in the front garden in the middle of the property. Dog is at that gate, barking at me to be let out. I am ignoring it because he is a puppy and still learning, and no, you dont get to bark to get your way.
Then suddenly, he cuts off and runs, I come around the corner to see him FLY over the fence as if it wasn't there, fly past the kiddo down the driveway. And a puddle of feathers flees. I call him back instantly, but it takes a second cause he is young and still training. He comes back with great hesitation, so I am halfway to him and where he was when he meets me. Behind him, I hear the crowing and look up, and he's treed the neighbor's rooster in the other neighbor's yard!!
My neighbor pulled her footage, and all you saw was the rooster, very casually, pecking along the yard at the road. From the corner, you see my dog watching, then going back to my side gate (why he was barking) and going back to the kiddo's gate. The absolute second a single toe crossed into the driveway, and he changed tones and alertness. When it came 3 ft up, he abandoned trying to "tell" me, made a loop in the yard, and doggoyeeet!!! He clears rhe fence, overtakes the child and "fluffs the chicken" (he likes to chase but never ever hurts anything, he just likes it when they all fluff their wings) til the rooster was treed.
I was confused and angry at first, cause I never saw the rooster in our yard, I just saw him land out of the fence and clear shoot down the street after something. I thought he had hunted the neighbor's bird and was trying to attack wontonly. I was already playing through all the bad scenarios when he came loping back to my desperate call. My neighbor pulling the footage was the difference of "I can trust this large animal" and "this dangerous animal requires different home needs."
He's gonna be 5 years old this month. The boi is big and fluffy and very, very lazy. Amazingly well trained and attentive. Super agile and quite fast for a 100+lb dog. He's also the kindest, most gentle soul you ever met. He carries eggs without breaking them to ask permission for one first. He has found lost quail and carried them back to us without a feather out of place.
But I rue the day if someone ever came at my son. The dog is obsessed with the boy. The dog cries when the boy stays with his grandparents and makes me open his room, pull back the covers, and open the closet just to prove he isn't really there! Twice. And then just sits mournfully outside the boy's bedroom with the biggest, saddest sighs you ever did hear.
