Sometimes our pets do things that totally blow us away. We can forget how smart they are from time to time, but when that happens, they always seem to do something that reminds us that they are more than just our cute and cuddly friends.
While cats, dogs, and even birds and other pets are all capable of learning commands and tricks, it is the things they do totally on their own, that are almost human-like, that surprise us on a daily basis.
Whether they are showing off their intellectual "book" smarts like Cooper, the dog who plays with games made for toddlers, using their "street" smarts like the tiny Chihuahua who outsmarts his two bigger doggie companions, or just showing compassion and acceptance of other animals like the one in this video, we can't help but be in awe of just how clever pets can be.
You would think that with a name like Brutus, the dog in this video would be all business. But, when he sees a strange animal enter his yard, all he cares about is getting in some quality playtime.
Brutus is smart enough to keep a little distance between him and the strange new friend, but he knows just how to entice the deer to keep him playing a good old game of tag for over 45 minutes!
