Gsd vs fish

[boiseno]

I have to relate this story just because it is a great story about a great dog.

This was back 95ish. And i'll give a little background about my brother's GSD DeeOgee. He was the biggest handfull my family has ever had with a dog as a pup. His specialty was soap and he ate it with reckless abandon, at my parents house where he spent his formative years and at his other house with my brother. Stuart, my brothers roommate went as far as to get hard plastic cases for his soap only to find it shredded and his soap gone.

He ate carpet, molding, hotwheels cars, play dough, tubes of neosporin, and shoes to name a few off the top of my head. He stole a whole roast off the counter, large pizza and i'm sure many other things.

He loved to steal potholders from my mothers kitchen and he has a memorial of sorts up on the wall at my brothers house with a picture of him with a potholder and that same potholder with the corner chewed off mounted under it.

Anyway on to the actual story i wanted to tell. DeeOgee was a large dog topping out around 120 in his prime which is when this story takes place.

My brother started coming home to the miniblinds in his livingroom messed up like the dog had been trying to claw his way out of the house while my brother was away. Now my brother had a fishtank in the living room that was about 1 1/2 feet off the floor with an adult oscar fish living in it. After several days of this going on my brother happened to notice that his oscar fish was acting very aggressively whenever the dog walked by the tank. He would swim right up against the glass and try to attack DeeOgee. He found out that the oscar was picking rocks up in his mouth when my brother was gone and slamming them into the glass and the frequency it would make drove him crazy enough to claw at the windows to escape.

My brother had an angry fish who tormented this 120 pound GSD. first he removed all the rocks and ornamentation from the tank so the fish wouldn't have any ammo to mess with the dog but the oscar started picking up the gravel from the bottom of the tank and spitting it at the glass!!!

In the end my brother had to sell the oscar back to the petstore because it didnt like his dog.

I still miss DeeOgee almost everyday and he's been gone for almost a decade. Thanks for reading my rant and i'll try to get a pic or two up of him.
