I have a lab, named abbigail, and she has started the weirdest thing. When I drop my saw on the ground, she will almost always come over and lay down next to it. First I thought well okay, she is just hanging out where the action is, but a few days ago while cutting in the woods I set the saw down a long ways from where I was cutting. She jumped out of the trailer where she was hanging out and went over and layed down next to the saw. I decided to test her out.
Yesterday I cut with a neighbor, and after laying my saw down a ways from the truck and she mounted her guard I told my neighbor to go over and pick up the saw.
As soon as the neighbor picked up the saw, she ran over to me and started winning and really looked upset. As soon as he dropped it to the ground, she resumed her guard. She doesnt do anything when I pick it up.
As a side note, she will only perform this task for the 372, not any other saw that I have. I put a short 20 inch bar on the 372, and she would still mount her guard, but the 455 with the same bar she could care less.
I thought maybe it had some smell on it that she could tell the difference, but after a thorough washing and degreasing, she still can tell the difference between the saws.
Guess I dont have to worry about this saw wandering off.
