PROUD OWNERS SHARE THEIR PETS’

SURPRISINGLY SMART ACCOMPLISHMENTS

You might like to think your dog is clever because they can do tricks, but some animals seem to have an uncanny level of intelligence that even surprises their owners.

Pet owners from around the world have taken to Bored Panda to share their animals› most amazing displays of cleverness, with some even managing to save lives.

One man's life was saved after his cat saw him choking and jumped on his stomach so hard it dislodged the sweet that was stuck in his throat.

Other actions were a little more self-serving, such as a feline who learned to open the fridge and started breaking in to feed the dog.

Another woman ended up getting breakfast in bed every day when her dog started bringing her fruit in the morning from a large bag she'd bought at the farmers market.

Another individual claimed their pet dog opened a multi-pack of chocolate while they were away purposely placed a chocolate on each person's bed to avoid getting in trouble. I guess he thought if he shared the chocolate with us all we wouldn't be mad,' she explained.

Another tale told how crafty cats conspired together to distract their owners in order to get food.

One person said: ‘We used to have two kittens. One day at the dinner table one of them stood up and put two paws on my dad's lap.

We all laughed at her obvious attempt at trying to steal food. ‘While our attention was focused on her, her sister jumped straight onto the table and stole a whole chicken drumstick. They both sprinted away and shared it nearby. We were all impressed.'

The owner of a dog who had a history of idiotic behaviour was surprised to discover the animal had the ability to save their mother's life. He wrote: ‘She regularly fails all of those dog intelligence tests, she's kind of neurotic and has a slightly deformed leg.

She was once in a forest hiking with my mum and failed to notice a bear 10 yards away.' During a hiking trip, his aunt and mother got lost in the mountains and his mother started suffering from heatstroke.

‘My dog, who normally just lays down uselessly when it's too hot, lead them for six miles out of the forest where she'd never been before.'

The pair occasionally thought she was leading them the wrong way and tried to take a different route, but the dog would ‘start whining and sit where the right trail was'. ‘It took hours but my dog got everyone home safe and sound.'
