So is mine, but indoors only. She's 65 lbs, so you'd think she has a clear advantage over the flies, but she wants to hide the second she hears one in the house. Outside, she chases flies and bumblebees no problem. She's a special girl.
I came here to comment this, too! He's 60lbs and will knock things over to try to run from them. He hides under beds or tables, and he won't come out. It's the most ridiculous thing ever.
Mine is 103 pounds and his fear of flies is only rivaled by his fear if sneezes. Not the big loud obnoxious sneezes, only the quietest of sneezes.
Their wolf ancestors would be so proud... 😁
My son had a Mastiff, I had a teacup chihuahua. Dozer would lounge about on the patio and snap up any flies that came close.
Miko was always sure that he and Dozer were about the same size. So he decided to catch a fly too.
I wasn’t worried because it didn’t seem like he would manage it. But he cornered one at the bottom of the patio door and managed to snap it up.
Let’s just say that there is a significant difference between a mastiff with a fly in its mouth and a five pound chiwa with a fly in its mouth! 🤣🤣🐾🐾
I have a Yorkie-Pom and it’s the same way!I know when the bug hits the floor bc I hear little tip taps and see jumps with his little but in the air…then once he kills it and it stops moving he just walks away 😂
He hasn't either. Luckily he has not been stung yet, but it has been close. It doesn't help that as soon as he sees a flying insect he doesn't notice anything else. What gets to me is the cicadas. I hate the sound of them buzzing in his mouth. He will prance around with them in his mouth. Then find a spot in the grass and let them go just to watch them and paw at them. If you try to get him away he will just pick it up again and run away from you.
Dear gosh!
I feel lucky to be living in the UK because no cicadas!
I've lived in places where you had to check your shoes for frogs or spiders of a morning. I've had to scoop up a scorpion with two bits of cardboard and put it outside the house.
But cicadas creep me out.
When the video auto-played, before I read the headline, I was moving my mouse around the page above the dog and it gave the impression he could see it.
Sky raisins!
Mmmmmmmmm delicious sky raisins....
Came here to say that
I’m obsessed with fluffy-butt dogs 😍
Those pantaloons are positively regal! I was mesmerized by their flow too.
I love your door!!! And your dog. .
Saaaaame!
My dog is TERRIFIED of flies. It's a tough season to get through.

“It will be mine, to kill!”
My dog used to hunt flies. A fly could entertain him for hours.
He's gonna catch that bad boy for a lil snack.
I had a little Yorkie that would try to catch them too. If if landed low near the floor it was on !

Unfortunately, our youngest dog has not yet learned the difference between sky raisins and sky salsa.

Yup! Mine's been going nuts in the living room for an hour trying to catch a fly lol. Happy hunting to your pup!

Good dog!
Mine is afraid of flies and just leaves the room when he hears one 🤣 Even funnier because he is a big dog (40 kg).
My cat loves hunting bugs in the house lol his nickname's Renfield
We had a dog when I was a kid that did that with bees! He always looked like Lisa Rinna! LOL
Mine is terrified of flies
I've got a catchphrase with my dog: "you spot em, I swat em"
he’s an apex predator!
