Seriously. I’d sooner trust her with a newborn than an electric mesh fence. She has been a tremendous asset in identifying and locating escaped chicks this year. She’ll hear a distress peep long before we do and zero in on the poor little peeper in the way that only a critter with ears that big can do. Good girl.

The saddest dog I ever did see
Was stuck all in a fence
She had a searching, soulful look
But had not any sense

She only wanted chicken poop
Fresh steaming from the pen
And now she’s on the internets
Betrayed by her friend

Oh dogs, oh dogs, oh do not do
As that dog Ruby tried
For if that fence were lectrical
That dog Ruby had fried

Oh dogs, oh dogs, oh do not do
As that dog Ruby would
Don’t go a-eatin chicken poop
Like it was any good

Oh go on, go on, doggies dear
Don’t eat shit from the fowl
Or you will feel as Ruby feels
Too shame-faced for to howl.

It's that she doesn't look distressed, but betrayed. Poor sensitive doggie! This is screamingly funny. It’s that she doesn’t look distressed, but betrayed. Poor sensitive doggie!

Poor Ruby, indeed. I love the look on her face - sort of "stop standing there and do something, idiot." Oh no. Poor Ruby, indeed. I love the look on her face – sort of “stop standing there and do something, idiot.”
