A hilarious video from last month shows a dog up in a tree in an attempt to catch a squirrel. Instagram user @chili_dawgy, based in Austin, Texas, shared the video. The clip shows a Vizsla named Chili on a tree, trying to hunt a squirrel. She carefully looks around, finding nothing but a way to give her viewers a good laugh.
Dog climbs a tree to catch a squirrel in funny video
In the comical video, Chili, the dog, is caught in a tree in an alleged attempt to find a squirrel. The canine remains true to her Vizsla personality, looking as energetic and determined as any other Vizsla with a knack for hunting. She climbs up a tree, with her owner zooming in on her to reveal her antics.
The dog looks through the tree, then looks up to gaze at the camera. She looks around and then goes back to staring into the camera with a blank expression on her face. The video’s caption discloses her age: “Year 5 is the year I’ll get one.” Meanwhile, the on-screen text reveals her intentions, stating, “To catch a squirrel, must become a squirrel.”
The dog and her tendency to “become a squirrel” stem from her natural hunting instincts. Vizslas are natural pointers and retrievers with a strong prey drive, which could be one of the reasons why Chili was so keen on catching a squirrel. Additionally, the dog might just have been too curious and determined to catch her prey, prompting her to climb a tree, which is atypical for a dog.
Viewers could not help but ponder Chili’s behavior. One asked, “How????” while another simply commented, “so funny.” A third user noted, “The way she looked at you,” while a fourth one called her antics “hilarious.” Some viewers also appreciated the dog, with one writing, “Now that’s professional Squirrel Surveillance!!” Another wrote, “Brilliant! Top climbing skills!” The dog might just have been demonstrating her natural hunting skills, but her attempt at catching a squirrel in the video gave viewers a chance to experience the joy that comes with owning a Vizsla.
