Dog wakes us up

[Billnew]

Our Fox terrier, Tippy, Woke us up last night.
He showed us our Black bear hamster was out of it's cage.
The hamster,KiKI, was hiding behind a long dresser.(we couldn't reach it from either side, and our 55gallon aquarium sits on it.)

My wife called to Kiki, and after several minutes the hamster walked out to her.
Yes the hamster came when called.(Black bears are the friendliest and seem to be the smartest hamsters)(I have had dwarf, and teddy bears)

To add to the story, Tippy had caught and killed a mouse that was in his food dish earlier in the evening.

This is about the third time the hamster has gotten out.(daughter has trouble making sure the cage is latched.) The dog has never killed a hamster.

That's good he's never killed it. If mine got loose I know my Jack Russells would kill it. Maybe my Shepherd/Collie too.

Tippy sounds like a very cool dog!

Great that he never hurts it! I've had black bears and teddies', black bears are my favourite.

Sounds like an amazingly smart dog!

Aww, that was nice of Tippy lol. If one of my guinea pigs ever got out, I wouldn't trust the dogs at all, as soft as they are with us.
