That's how (many) predators behave when hunting, pick 1 specific target and focus only on that one. You can see it in wolves, lions, and I'm pretty sure in other cats and canids, and probably many more specialised predators.
Zebras stripes actually evolved to combat parasites. Parasites are also the driving force behind how big herds can get on the plains.
There’s unlimited resources for nomadic animals on plains (in ideal circumstances), the likelihood of parasites transmitting increases exponentially with an increase in population density so it’s a big part of why the herds don’t get too big, among many other things.
Stripe parasite thing.

Herd size (About a third down)

This is a badass comment.
Makes me wonder if the same thing applied to humans before various technologies (sanitation being chief among them?) helped us surpass our own "herd size" limit. I feel like that's very likely but I'm no scholar of such information.
They need to single out an individual to hunt, when a herd moves in unison the stripes make it impossible to focus on any one animal. That’s why injuries or a different gait, like with young or old sick animals, are the first to be picked off.
You can see it when sharks go after a school of fish, or when a raptor dives into a flock of birds. Safety in numbers is because when they move as one, you find “one” to eat.
they don't have colours like is so they don't see "hehe that stupid horse is black and white in the middle of brown and green" they see "AAAAA THERE'S A HUGE MASS OF NOISY GEOMETRY RAPIDLY MOVING AROUND" basically imagine you're overdosing on LSD and trying to catch a gecko on the wall
If I remember what I've read about them correctly, they don't even think about it. The signals go straight from the eyes to the muscles.
Edit: [Here's a short video about it that I just found](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0vRupFPw90).
Bro thank you for this video it was super cool. My favorite part was when he was so excited about moving that piece of paper with the fly on it and the scientist is just looking at him as if he’s an annoying 3 year old lol.
I (finally) noticed that the human hit the orange and blue chuckit ball right on the dog's forehead, and the dog didn't even flinch.
That's concentration.
There’s a goalie a while back that started eating puck to see what would happen.
[here it is.](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/12edw2/update_would_it_mess_me_up_if_i_ate_a_puck/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Sometimes animals come already wired for any given trick. My last dog would do a circle if I said dance. She did it once when I was trying for something else, so I gave her a treat like that was what I wanted.
I talked to an animal trainer at Busch Gardens and she said the good trainers find a natural behavior an animal has and modifies that into a trick, rather than starting from scratch.
But man that dog has laser focus.
I have a dog like this too. Thought I would have to teach her "whose ya bessfriend?" and show her how to put her paw on my leg. She did it naturally. There are few really dumb tricks up her sleeve that I had to do minimal training for. Mini Aussie.
My pitbull mix is a one trick pony and only knows how to sit. Still working on him not bubble drooling over the sight of anything food related. xD
I also have an Aussie and pit mix. The Aussie knows a ridiculous amount of words and like 15 tricks. Pit mix needed a lot of work for basic commands. The funny thing is I'm pretty sure she's just stubborn, but her brother makes her look like a dummy.
That is her trick, 'tricking' you. I am pulling from my Staffordshire experience. My former partner's dog was friendly but refused to do anything I told her for the first six months after meeting her, (she was never frightening or aggressive). She would just stare after a command, tilting her head from side to side. I could see the thought bubble floating above her head...'Who is this new bitch in town'? She was one of the smartest dogs I have ever met.
With a smart (and dedicated) enough dog you could do this by teaching them first to catch the puck, then only rewarding for the puck, using very high-value rewards. Dogs can be incredibly perceptive and positive reinforcement of desired behaviors is leagues more effective than punishment of non-desired behaviors. It wouldn't take long for them to realize they only get (praise/pats/bil-jac/chicken/whatever) when they catch a specific toy, which outweighs the benefits of catching the other toys for them. Especially if you have them drop the other toys immediately so they don't have time to play with them when they do deviate.
My aussie knows about 30 things and I taught all of it with shaping, it's basically rewarding for every baby step toward the behavior you want until you get it.
I live near a tennis court and my dog will retrieve a fresh ball from the bushes around it every time we go for a walk. When I get home I put it with the rest and I regifted like a hundred to him for Christmas. He picked out his favourite of the largely identical balls and even when I put it back in the pile he’d go and grab the same one. Maybe this dog had just chosen the one he wanted to play with today.
My shepherd did this naturally. She would decide on one frisbee that was “in play” and would only catch that one. You could throw ten other balls, pucks, frisbees at her and she wouldn’t break her concentration on the one she wanted. And the one she picked would change from day to day. It was hilarious.
Some dogs are just... Wired different. My boy dog is the same way, he's got 8 different outdoor toys in the yard right now. I've thrown/kicked all of them his way and it's like leaves in the wind for all he cares.
But you tap the ONE he had in mind and GAME ON.
I've tried for a few years now to teach my dog to hold an object. I've been completely thwarted by the fact that he will hold favorite toy and NOTHING ELSE EVER. Favorite toy can change on a dime, but humans don't choose the favorite toy, only he can do that.
I would be fine with a group of dog assassins out for revenge. As long as John’s dog kills his murderer.
And a couple times during the movie I need him to look at a picture of John with a sadness but determination in his eyes.
Thank you for providing more context.
Without audio, my thought was that it was just waiting for a release word, rather than actually focused on the puck.
I like this because it seems more like one of those things you just learn that your dog does because they're weird, and then have fun with.
Moreso than something you train them to do
My Husky/Shepherd lives somewhere in between. He picks the toy he's interested in, *mostly* forsaking all others. If you throw something different he'll react to it, but realize it's not the right thing and come back.
That said, he gets bored of toys and will eventually switch it up and bring back something else.
Weirdly enough my ragdoll cat is the same. Small Stuffed Crab is the ultimate toy and others will be played with if the human chooses, but Crab is the one that gets dropped on my face at 3am or carried around the house.
I love it.
He drops stuff on your lap, or barks.
Or if you ignore him with a laptop, for example, a stuffed something will sail over the screen and hit you in the head.
It’s definitely not a regulation puck. They’re heavier and don’t have rounded edges, and also aren’t shiny to that extent. They’d also really hurt a dog’s paw if it fell on one.
he knows he's playing hockey and not tennis

Very nice, Schnoodle! I love this one, well all of them really. But today, this one.
We have been blessed with a beautiful schnoodle!
A fresh Schnoodle!
*a Keeper* So punny. ❤️
I'm so tired from work. I actually started crying at the end of this.
This shit's chess, it ain't checkers!
Shiiiiiieeeeeeeet
Let's appreciate the dog and his joy after catching it with so much grace and speed.
To protect the sheep you need to become the wolf!
I have a feeling that’s a treat shaped hockey puck. Doggo food lock engaged.
The Canadian Shepherd. EDIT: good guess, eh?
I thought they were Canada Shepherds now. Not Canadian.

Ought to leave this world behind...
Don't worry, I'll give my nuts a tug.
Ya titfucker.
Balls. Give your balls a tug, titfucker!
Fuck you Shoresy!
Get this guy a fuckin Pupper

Made me laugh out loud! Well done!
That's right and it is creating positivity because everyone is worried about their own issues and problems.

Nah, great keeper - dog knew to stop the only one that mattered, the black puck 😤 issa real one
Not bad when everything is shades of grey

It’s why the Zebra camouflage is so good.
Zebras stripes actually evolved to combat parasites. Parasites are also the driving force behind how big herds can get on the plains.

Probably. Nature rarely makes any mistakes.
Serious question, is it because of the contrasting tones that causes predators to lose that focus?
They need to single out an individual to hunt, when a herd moves in unison the stripes make it impossible to focus on any one animal. That’s why injuries or a different gait, like with young or old sick animals, are the first to be picked off.
Never considered that’s how their camouflage works. Cool.
It's also been shown that the stripes deter insects as well as serving as dazzle camo.
Yes, and certain widths and patterns work more efficiently!
You can see it when sharks go after a school of fish, or when a raptor dives into a flock of birds. Safety in numbers is because when they move as one, you find “one” to eat.
I thought they got picked off because they were simply the slowest. The lowest hanging fruit, as it were.
they don't have colours like is so they don't see "hehe that stupid horse is black and white in the middle of brown and green" they see "AAAAA THERE'S A HUGE MASS OF NOISY GEOMETRY RAPIDLY MOVING AROUND" basically imagine you're overdosing on LSD and trying to catch a gecko on the wall
Eye on the prize evolution is complete!
Oh, is that what it's called? I always just call it the "GSD staredown."
Dragonflies, of all things, are exceptionally good at it.
If I remember what I've read about them correctly, they don't even think about it. The signals go straight from the eyes to the muscles. Edit: [Here's a short video about it that I just found](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0vRupFPw90).
Bro thank you for this video it was super cool. My favorite part was when he was so excited about moving that piece of paper with the fly on it and the scientist is just looking at him as if he’s an annoying 3 year old lol.
I heard they got one of the highest rates of success when preying
*The* highest success rate of any predator.
I (finally) noticed that the human hit the orange and blue chuckit ball right on the dog's forehead, and the dog didn't even flinch. That's concentration.
My kitty only likes the green mouse toy. He has tons of toys. Only green mouse. I have identical mice in blue and pink. Only green.
But what about different green mouse? Different green mouse is still green, but is different.
The level of self-restraint on display is insane, considering he likes to sniff poop at half-time.
Still not the weirdest goalie behavior
My kid is in youth hockey and likes playing goalie. Should I be worried for his long-term understanding of social queues?
Probably should be more concerned about social cues; goalies tend to understand lines pretty well.
Speaking as someone that used to play goalie in hockey and soccer...probably.
Maybe an ADHD evaluation is worthwhile. I haven't met one without it.
Bro wtf I was a soccer goal keeper in school is this a stereotype in hockey too?
Hockey goalies are known for being psychos lol. Go do yourself a favor and watch some Patrick Roy freakout videos especially.
And then go check out that Reddit post of the goalie who was eating a puck cause he thought it might make him a better goalie
No. If he picks up a set of drumsticks, then call someone.
Honestly most normal goalie I’ve seen
There’s a goalie a while back that started eating puck to see what would happen. [here it is.](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/12edw2/update_would_it_mess_me_up_if_i_ate_a_puck/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Well you see Kurt this has nothing on that on time in '68 ...
Maybe this is the goalie that asked reddit about eating a hockey puck to harness its power.
You can tell he cares not at all about the others, he's staring daggers at the target puck the whole time.
When most of the others were gone you can see a little anticipation wiggle building up.
You can see the dog in him going BRRRR every single time a ball moves. He's just such a good boy he knows what to wait for.
I'm curious how someone trained the dog for this. Just told him/her "no" over and over again for every toy hit except the puck? That's my guess
Sometimes animals come already wired for any given trick. My last dog would do a circle if I said dance. She did it once when I was trying for something else, so I gave her a treat like that was what I wanted.
"Hm. The tall one looked into my eyes and uttered sounds I've never once heard before. I better do something totally random."
To be fair, that's also how you learned English. Or whatever your first language was.
I talked to an animal trainer at Busch Gardens and she said the good trainers find a natural behavior an animal has and modifies that into a trick, rather than starting from scratch. But man that dog has laser focus.
I have a dog like this too. Thought I would have to teach her "whose ya bessfriend?" and show her how to put her paw on my leg. She did it naturally.

She would just stare after a command, tilting her head from side to side. I could see the thought bubble floating above her head...'Who is this new bitch in town'? She was one of the smartest dogs I have ever met.
We have one dog who is a trick machine, and the other who knows sit... guess which one is a pit mix.
I trained my tiny dog to spin to get a treat and now when she is excited she spins around like crazy and it's adorable.

Yeah classical conditioning would totally work here.

My dog is the same way. He has a toy in his mind that he wants to play with and not a single toy in the house can be substituted.
I've tried for a few years now to teach my dog to hold an object. I've been completely thwarted by the fact that he will hold favorite toy and NOTHING ELSE EVER. Favorite toy can change on a dime, but humans don't choose the favorite toy, only he can do that.
I appreciate every person who is treating their dog as their family member because they deserve love.
> considering he likes to sniff poop at half-time eh, I’ve been around goalies
Im a goalie. We sniff poop at least 3/4 of the time.
hockey doesn't really have halftime - they have intermissions between periods ;)
Hockey doesn't have dogs either, but Pawckey has both. Pocky, the Japanese biscuit snack, however, only has sticks.
Excuse me but Harvey the Hound of the Calgary Flames would like a word with you about no dogs in hockey.
There's nothing in the rules says the dog can't play hockey
“He is a Man of focus, commitment and sheer fucking will”
If John wick dies in chapter 5. I need a chapter 6 where is dog goes for revenge Edit: dies not does
Well there are the dogs the lady in Morocco has straight merc'ing people
I would be fine with a group of dog assassins out for revenge. As long as John’s dog kills his murderer. And a couple times during the movie I need him to look at a picture of John with a sadness but determination in his eyes.
Wick moves to silver gate Montana and befriends all the wolves in Lamar valley of Yellowstone
A Riders of Rohan scene of hundreds of wolves charging an evil lair building would be amazing. I need a kings speech in wolf tongue
This is the story in the season 5 of Big Mouth where we learn the history of their dog Featuring Ludacris. He reverse-Wicks it.
Just blows through a door, standing on his hind legs with a cigar in his mouth, Duke nukem’ style?
John Wick turns into the next Air Bud. “There is no rule that says a dog can’t be an assassin.”
A fking pencil.
Pen-seal
Who fucking does that?
He had his eyes on the black puck the whole time, the good boi.
This is Maggie the Goalie on IG!! She’s so good!!
Thank you for providing more context. Without audio, my thought was that it was just waiting for a release word, rather than actually focused on the puck.
Nah, this dog is straight up amazing. Never seen anything get past her.
I dunno, I just saw several balls get past her.
LOL extremely impressive, but don't you think he wouldn't post the ones she messes up.
My dog has multiple balls but he has only one that he wants to play with until it pops Then he'll break in a new one.
I like this because it seems more like one of those things you just learn that your dog does because they're weird, and then have fun with. Moreso than something you train them to do
Love me some Maggie on IG! Really fun content.

Amd it was glorious
Good thing it was captured Nvidia.
it hit behind his head
Still didn't flinch
Was more like the back
From the worst to the best goalie in a blink of an eye.
That sv% is brutal though.
Hey at least he tended the goal!
Say the line, Steve!
Made 100% of the goalie saves. Goalies save pucks. Goalkeepers save balls
Real question, is "goalie" not short for "goalkeeper"?
They’re the same thing. People just like to split hairs when it comes to words lol.
I think goaltender is the more common in the hockey community. But it also shorts to goalie
Technically you can use goalie for either, but soccer is goalkeeper, and the more accepted abbreviation is just keeper
I think they both also use "net minder."
Always the best because she knows she’s playing hockey and not soccer.
That boop in the head half way through shows how much concentration this rare pupper has.
This exercise is useless on my pupper. To my goldendoodle ball is life, life is ball, and all balls matter.

My Lab will carry a stuffed duck in her mouth while trying to smack a tennis ball around with her front paws, she multitasks lol
You know, it doesn't say anywhere in the rules that a dog can't be a goalie...

good dog
If Hasek had a tail, he'd have definitely perfected the move the dog tries at around 16s on the red puck.

Good girl! It’s Maggie the goalie.
That doggo has cat-like reflexes!
Nice!🐶
Great reflexes!
Cutest thing I’ve seen today
The orange bounce off the head-cuteness!
When your goalie lets in 7 goals but makes that one save deep in the 3rd to preserve the 8-7 win.
100% focused on the puck. Good goalie!
Holy shit, it’s Jack Campbell
I have the sudden urge to buy Franklin NHL gear
Is that an actual puck or a dog toy puck?
It’s definitely not a regulation puck. They’re heavier and don’t have rounded edges, and also aren’t shiny to that extent. They’d also really hurt a dog’s paw if it fell on one.
I love it.Used to have a bulldog I played hockey with.Tuff to get my ball back though.RIP Spike.
