This is Daphne the (mostly) Border Collie. She was on the couch with me as I watched the Maple Leafs/Canucks on Saturday night. The Leafs scored three goals in the first period. It was fun to watch, because the Leafs were actually trying for once (something the Leafs were not doing for a while.)
After the second period (and a goal by Vancouver’s Alexandre Burrows), Daphne hopped off the couch and went to the laundry room. The the third period came and…well….here’s the box score.
Have you ever heard of animals that “know” an earthquake or a volcanic eruption is coming, so they freak out or migrate away? And people can’t figure out why this is until the earthquake/eruption happens? I’d like to think this dog can sense the (usually inevitable) collapse of the Leafs. Then again, supposedly border collies are one of the smartest breeds out there. Just a thought.
