In defense of small dogs...

First off I apologize this video is probably too long, eh!

Roscoe is my very first dog that is NOT a lab. He’s 20lbs of “big dog” though.
After seeing all the videos of big dogs doing stuff I felt it necessary to defend small dog’s honor.

He’s a “Trail Rated” dog that love to explore the forests. Chipmunks are a favorite target. He’s been known to dig a couple feet down just to chase them.

But I have a Maine Coon that's a bit bigger than he is! Wonder if they'd like to play? (LOL)

He has a gray collar with a white dot which is what you probably see.
