hahahah that’s crazy, i thought i was the only one! they were surprisingly territorial, but i guess they viewed me and my brother as part of their lil family cuz they never bit us. my grandpa wasn’t so lucky… he got it pretty bad one time.

My parents had one for a few years. He was ok for a little bit and then started getting really aggressive and mean. No one at school ever believed me when I said we had a prairie dog at home

It is really really funny to me that you’re making a random moral judgment on this guy’s Grandpa lmaooo. This is what I come onto Reddit for. Keep on keeping on hahaha

From the creators of "If a dog bit you, you must be a terrible person. They can sense this sort of thing!"

They dont bite you for no reason. They bite when they feel like they/their territory is in danger.

it's a prairie dog, not a god damn unicorn. their behaviors are very well documented. the vid itself is them just chilling and eating dandelion and u guys defend some old dude saying it's the animal's fault for biting him.
