Dog Fails Walking along a Rail Fence

Every dog owner knows that their best friend loves to go for walks out in the fresh air. Well Poncho, Brent's 12 year old Basenji cross rescue from Mexico is no different. Every morning, noon and night she comes and gives Brent the stare down until he takes her for her daily walk. If he ignores Poncho's subtle hints, she will then begin pacing back and forth from wherever Brent may be sitting, to the garage door. Poncho knows exactly where her leash is kept, and that is just inside the door from the house to the garage. When she knows it is time for that W.A.L.K she goes nuts, racing around the house making it tough to get her harness on. Once outside and after a minute or two of extreme excitement, Poncho will then begin to walk somewhat calmly. Calmly until she smells a squirrel or other animal that may have been wandering within her path. She knows exactly where the squirrels live along her walk and when approaching that area, within half a block, she really starts pulling and whining. Thankfully the walk Brent took her on the morning he recorded yet another of Poncho's funny characteristics, was not the squirrel route. As you will see, Poncho does walk nicely like many dogs do. But, when she gets to one particular rail type fence she decides walking "like every other dog" just does not fit her personality. Slippery wood does make for some difficulty for Poncho, but all ended well. No one was injured in the making of this video.
