A pet is a perfect companion for everyone, especially those living alone. You can never feel bored when you have a pet.

Going for a short walk or spending the entire afternoon in a dog park, having a picnic, playing together, etc., are just some of the numerous activities you can do together. Even when you are busy and don't have much time to devote to your dog, he will probably understand you and just sit next to you, keeping you company until you finish your tasks.

They are really clever and understanding creatures. That's why people find them as best furry friends.

Recently, a Reddit user shared a story about his best friend and the different games they play together. But, their last game went a little messy for the owner.

He probably deserved it, but it's still the funniest story you'll ever hear. The owner had an idea to spook his dog while she was sniffing something, just to see her funny response.

It was a naive and witty idea, but he admitted that he hadn't thought much about its consequences. He believed his dog would be thrilled once he realized what was happening.

Or, in the worst scenario, maybe a little scared. But the unexpected outcome literally covered the owner with more emotions at once.

We'll let you discover for yourself what happened, but we are impatient to hear your reaction to this humorous story.

The original post:

Redditor has a 6-month-old Pitbull dog.

He wanted to surprise her:

And he succeeded in that intention:

But she surprised him back:

Yet, this experience was very educative for him:

"You scared the sh.t out of me"

One dog mom expressed her sincere sympathizing for the situation:

He succeeded and also got a reward for it.

"Today I learned..."

He should be prepared for what comes next...

He really made an effort to earn it

And it will probably be remembered forever

Maybe because he believes it would be fun?

"Well deserved"

If you didn't know:

There are more people with similar experiences

Joking aside, it's not a good idea to scare pets, they experience it stressfully just as we humans do.

It’s a natural defense mechanism in dogs

"Dogs and cats primarily use their anal gland secretions to mark their territory and generally will secrete small amounts of fluid every time they defecate. Many will often express these glands when anxious or frightened as well.

Dogs who are healthy can usually have a wide variety in the appearance of their sac's content. Anal sac fluid varies from yellow to tan or brown in color." Wikipedia

Definitely

The OP also added some further information:

Well, this story was pretty amusing for other Redditors. Although generally, it's not alright to scare your pet for various reasons, some pets find it very interesting and really like it.

What do you feel about this situation? Have you ever before heard of this defense mechanism in dogs?
