I've been buried multiple times for trainings. When the dog finds you they are absolutely ecstatic. This is a game for them. The best game.

When they dig you out enough to get in, you start praising them nonstop and you have a high value toy that they want, so you just play tug of war and praise them like crazy for a minute or two.

This is so wholesome, than you for sharing!

[-] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

How long do you have to stay buried? and what happens if a dog is just bad at the job and he doesn't find you?

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

That's so wholesome. Quite contrary to military training for dogs

Great. Now if I ever get rescued by a human I'm going to be SOOOO disappointed.

"Cover me back up and send a dog! Also, have the dog bring me some brandy!"

[-] criitz@reddthat.com 34 points 1 year ago

The first one kills me, he's like "holy shit I found him"

[-] Moneo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

By god there's a human under here.

[-] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 25 points 1 year ago

I think the top right one looks most concerned.

all of them are good boys though. very good boys.

[-] flicker@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

I love that bottom left doesn't look even a little worried.

"Hey! There you are! I knew you were gonna be fine!"

[-] Something_Complex@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

He seems in that moment when he's changing from panic to disbelief he actually found him.

"So this is where you hoomans come from!"

[-] aberrate_junior_beatnik@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Maybe I should get trapped in an avalanche?

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Protip: lots of people die this way, and the dogs won't find you in time. But if you insist, go snowboarding/skiing by the trees in power snow.

[-] aberrate_junior_beatnik@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's a joke. But yes, I will second this: do not actually get yourself trapped in an avalanche, no matter how cute the dogs that might rescue you in time are.

[-] TryingToEscapeTarkov@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I want to be rescued by 3 the most.

[-] Albbi@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

3 looks like he just found his new best friend.

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

  4. Holy shit this weed is strong. Are you real?
[-] BeautifulMind@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

All I see is GOOD DOGS

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

A cat would probably bury you there instead

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Awww, I love this!

[-] Cyberbatman@lemmings.world 7 points 1 year ago

Bottom left seems to be the happiest of them all. I don't want to be stranded in snow but when I do please send me this cute dog

[-] PlatinumSf@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago

Real angels ~

Wish I got this excited finding bugs in my code..

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well, if the bug praised you, gave you treats, and played with you... you would be more excited!
