Proof that Dogs are Smarter Than FISH
Injured Dog Amazes By Taking Self To Vet
POSTED: 9:50 a.m. EDT August 8, 2003 UPDATED: 10:30 a.m. EDT August 8, 2003 CORBIN, KY -- A clever canine in Kentucky sought out his own medical care by limping to a local veterinarian's office after getting hit by a car, according to a Local 6 News report. The 6-year-old dog, Scooby, ran away from his owners when his collar ring snapped during a recent thunderstorm. As he was running across a road a vehicle hit him, injuring his leg and tail. Scooby then somehow walked miles to a local animal clinic and was waiting on the doorstep when employees arrived for work. "He obviously knew this was the place to get help," Scooby's owner Shirley Farris said. "There are subdivisions with hundreds and hundreds of houses between me and the vets office, there are three lanes and there is a mini mall. How he knew to take himself to the vet, I don't know." Workers said Scooby followed them inside and walked straight into the operating room. His owner called the vet to tell him she'd lost her dog and was amazed to learn he had taken himself to the right place. Everyone involved is amazed at Scooby's ability not only to find his way through yards and across roads, but with an injury. "Scientists will like to say it was the barking and the smell," Corbin Animal Clinic Dr. Gerald Majors said. "But we'd like to think he was smart enough to be here. He's been here a few times, he is smart, he knew us." Scooby is expected to recover from his injuries.

RE: Proof that Dogs are Smarter Than FISH
Was there any witnesses that saw the dog "limp" to the clinic? If there was, why didn't they help the dog?
Sounds like to me that somebody saw the hurt dog, picked him up and left him at the Animal Clinic and left. Sounds wrong and unethical that somebody would do that, but I would think a hurt dog would probably go back home seeing that he was there, than have to "limp" the long way to the Animal Clinic. Maybe I am wrong and Scooby is an amazing dog!

Chiwas, I agree. A dog is smarter, but a bigger responsibility.
