Dog got into coop

[tweetzone86]

She was really cute earlier this summer. I had old chicken bedding in a yard trash can in the middle of the yard (this was sprayed stuff so went in the can, not the garden). She kept going to my husband, whining, and going back to the can. She repeated it several times, then tried to stand on her hind legs to look in the can, then went back to him a la "Lassie at the well" whining the whole time and looking incredibly concerned.

We finally tilted the can, as she didn't believe us that there was nothing in there, and she sniffed the bedding and whined at us, and we finally said, "The chickens are in the coop dumb dumb! They're fine!"

She finally let up and went to play. But she was CERTAIN there was a poor chicken trapped in there and was desperate for us to rescue it

Sorry for your scare
I am very lucky I have a Great Dane who thinks it’s fun to run around the chickens but not eat or kill them so he is left on fox watch during the day.....
The pullets to him are a game but they hide out of sight anyway so yes Please keep her on the lead around your chickens
