It occasionally happens even teaching college (granted, I mostly run the sailing program). After a few weeks of sailing lessons, one student asked me why the water's edge was sometimes up near the parking lot and other times down near the docks. Uh, I can understand if you don't know about tides if you are from a landlocked state, but you are Californian!

I also have a funny story about the dogs thinking "oh no, its a cop" when seeing a police dog.

Over ten years ago, I was part of the local AKC Collie Fanciers Club. People who know collies know that they are among the friendliest, most bombproof dogs out there, especially if trained and habituated for the show ring and all that excitement.

One day the police had sent their dogs in pursuit of a violent suspect running through the neighborhood of our Collie Club's president. The two police dogs caught up with the suspect on the other side of her backyard's chainlink fence, with the collies in the yard looking on with great interest. The suspect thought he'd take his chances with the collies rather than the police dogs and hopped the fence.

With the police dogs barking their encouragement (or instructions, I don't know), the four collies, who had never laid a tooth on anyone in their lives and were breed champions, each grabbed an arm or leg of the suspect and took him down. Our club president said she would have never believed it of her dogs if she hadn't seen it herself.

When the police caught up, they immediately told her, "The official story is that it was our dogs who took him down. We don't want your Lassies to get in trouble." Those collies never did anything remotely like that again, so I think the police dogs really were telling them "That's a bad man, do a citizen's arrest!"

I believe there is a lot more to animals than most people think.
