Benton! BENTON!
Jesus Christ. 😆
What an idiot! I mean, Benton ffs!
Heh... I knew what this was before clicking the link.
JESUS CHRIST!
Thats so bad its not even funny.
haha, amazing! wonder how long it took him to catch up? 😆
Poor dog - through no fault of its own has probably ended up dumped in some pound somewhere or put to sleep because of his owners inability to train and dedicate time to it.
Benton won't be allowed to watch those old videos of Wildlife on One anymore, put too many ideas in his head:"As Benton stalks his prey in the Savannah of the Serengeti, he chooses his moment to break cover... JESUS CHRIST, BENTONNN!!"
proper lol
Bawbag owner.
I'm still laughing at that
it needed an Ostrich, a donkey and an unsuspecting mtber getting taking out by the deer but otherwise it's good 😉
I think the impact is partly 'cos of the plummy voice of the owner.
The panic in his voice! I almost felt sorry for him!!
Why do I get the impression that he's had to deal with that before? Nice one.
What an amazing find. BENTOOOON
You want to see a dog not under control?
I thought not, but how wrong I was!
I laughed out loud but also broke into a cold sweat at the prospect.
I walk my lab that exact route a few times a week and if he was off lead around the Deer he would do the exact thing!
Funny, but really not funny at the same time!

Believe me, there is no amount of training that can suppress the natural instinct in some dogs. Ours will heal, sit, lie down come on command, heck you could even put a steak on the floor in front of him and he wouldn't touch it without permission, yet, have some sort of livestock around that he can chase and he suddenly turns deaf and ignores all commands! That's why he goes on a lead around livestock. He would never attack an animal, just likes the chase unfortunately!!
Haha!
it's pretty funny. But not sure why some people think you can train all dogs out of all unwanted behaviour. My two would have done the same. Given a chance. Chase instinct is very strong. Idiot should have got his lead on first sign of the deer.
Believe me, there is no amount of training that can suppress the natural instinct in some dogs. Ours will heal,
I hope it uses evidence-based medicine and none of that namby pamby homeopathy nonsense!
😀
Oh Jesus Christ!
Ha ha... however I've been there! New dog, field of sheep... "Hope! Hope! Oh Jesus Christ!"
Only the once though 8)
I've seen proper bona fide sheepdogs suddenly get the feral streak and start doing their own thing
One minute they're instantly obedient to every whistle and call, the next they're heading over the horizon and nothing brings them back

They're backed up by lab tests.

Too right. My dog has an outlet for it - running around the fields like an idiot after rabbits. I'd trust her off the lead in that deer field these days, for definite.
My previous collie once took off after a red deer hind up near Derry Lodge in the Cairngorms - funny as hell when he appeared back round the corner, yelping away, with a fine looking 12 point stag in hot pursuit. Fortunately the stag gave up and went back to his ladies after about 20 metres, but I didn't appreciate the dog heading straight back for me at the time.
He was hell bent on chasing those deer.
edit due to incompetence with phone. i thought it was funny...
[i]He was hell bent on chasing those dear [/i]
There were old women too?
There's an awful lot of tweets along the lines of 'Beeeennnntttttooonnn!!!!' at the moment.
😀
'Oh Jesus Christ' and #benton both trending 🙂
would a lab try and take a deer down though? or is it just in it for the chase?
Does Bentons owner just need to chill and shout "fetch it here!" then Bentons under control and Venisons for tea 😉

With every lab i've ever owned its for the chase.
Now being played on Radio1..... wonder how long until the RSPCA get involved!
Just had a mention from miss cotton on radio 1!

Poor dog - through no fault of its own
hmmm...
Benton in London => actual tears of laughter
maybe the deer egged him on?
maybe they talked about his mother is disparaging tones?
maybe they just like being chased?
always two sides to this...
That vid is perfick!
Re labs taking down deer, I recall a thread on here a year or so ago, in which a member came on boasting about his lab chasing and felling a deer. Poor guy was very proud of his dog, but the tale was not well received and an epic flaming commenced.....
I bet the bloke was proud of his epic trolling...
I saw the 'Benton in London' thing before I knew what it was all about.
I thought it was a trailer for a new film based on the American Werewolf story 😳

I don't believe that was a lab. Or a "poor guy" 8)
OMG! That so could be my little ****er, not so little now, but still only 20 months and the most difficult dog I've ever had the misfortune to try and train.
That scenario has happened to me twice now, once when he slipped his lead as I was trying to get my bike through a gate whilst still holding on to him, the second time, last Friday, night riding someone had left the gate to a field that he normally gets put on the leash open. He was through it like a rat up a drain, initially thought my luck was in, there were no sheep, I went after him anyway to try and get him on the fikken lead, my pal was still coming up the hill behind.
To cut a long story of yelling, absolute horror at a sea of eyes lit up, the ****ing dog cutting one from the flock, me arriving it ****ing off (the sheep then the dog going after it again), my mate eventually arrives on the scene to witness me holding the sheep from the rear with it bucking about, (the logic being to stop it running off and to protect it from my bastard dog who just circled us just out of reach enjoying every minute of the chase), hurry up John (name changed to protect the innocent) it's your turn quipped I, get hold of it so I can catch the bastard.
So there we were bike lights illuminating the scene, taking turns to hold this sheep in 'the position' eventually he sits and I get him and give him the soundest thrashing ever which is the wrong thing to do since he did obey the sit command and I did manage to get hold of him, but whatever, he did pin the damn sheep down and give it a shaking..
We did manage to extricate ourselves from the situation before another group of riders arrived on the scene from the opposite direction, but damn, as nasty an embarrassment and potentially lethal situation for the dog, although I have to say if I'd a gun I'd have shot him myself..
It is true however well you think you have them trained, there comes a better offer involving chasing and herding and they're off..
What you need is a dog collar that explodes and blows their head clean off..
