German Shepherd "Maximus" is bewildered by turtles swimming in the bathtub.

We just moved from Texas to Alaska and had to stay in a hotel for a week with all of our pets. We couldn't take our turtle aquarium on the plane, so we let them swim in the bathtub each night. My German Shepherd, Maximus, thought this was fascinating and would stand next to me and watch them.

the whole vid i was terriefied that the dog was gunna bight noe of them thats what my puppy would of done but that is a greatly trained GSD because it did not let its prey drive get the best of him

@luvdancing224 He really doesn't have a high prey drive. He used to be afraid of the frogs in our backyard in Texas! My Siberian Husky on the other hand, will eat just about anything that moves!

Umm ... are those long non-moving things in the water the turtles' droppings? If so, they sure do poop a lot! :o)

[Latigresa81]

@TheTubePortal No, it's turtle food.

@DaxonizAmazin Of course! Thanks! I never understood people who use moving as an excuse to get rid of animals. I moved from Texas to Alaska and took ALL 7 of my pets. 2 dogs, 4 turtles and a bird. It was expensive and difficult, but it didn't matter. I made a life long commitment to care for them and I'm sticking to it! I love them all.

@Latigresa81 Good on you!!! I HATE it when people just dump thier animals. Yeah it can be a huge pain in the butt to find animal freindly housing (I know from personal expereince) but they wouldn't leave you so why leave them??

@eclecomte2 Normal people don't leave their animals behind...Abusive, neglectful, criminal people do that...It’s cool they did what they had to do for their pets, but let’s not glorify it by saying the avg person abandons their animal at the slightest sign of transportation complication…

my friend had a gsd named maximus, who was so awesome lol and one of my asshole friends taught him how to open the doorknob with his mouth, too bad though he would always get loose and run and my friends mom didnt train him right so he would go for joy runs in the neighborhood, asshole neighbors called animal police and the fines were too much and he went to the shelter at a couple yrs old, poor thing prolly died living only half his life thanks to uncaring people, animals nvr deserve that D':<
