Hunting dog is adorably confused by a deer’s head: “I don’t understand”

A video of a dog trying to relax in bed, excited by a decoration on a wall he usually only sees from outside, has left people in stitches.

Gunnar, a 18-month-old Bavarian mountain hound, sat on a bed with his owner, known on TikTok as @logangb123. Instead of relaxing and going to bed, Gunnar paced the bed. The sniffer dog in him was activated after he spotted a deer sitting on the wall.

“It was the first time he had seen a deer,” the owner said. Newsweek via TikTok.

Gunnar works as a tracking dog, and when he saw the deer staring back at him, he got to work. He moved from side to side, moaning and growling. His body was shaking with confusion. Even when we got closer to deer mountain, he couldn’t understand how, with his impeccable sense of smell, he missed it.

The caption reads: “He didn’t understand why the deer was in my room and not in the woods.”

Although he was confused when he first saw it, his owner said that he is now used to it.

“But he still looks at it all the time,” the owner said.

TikTok As of Friday, the clip had received more than 700,700 views, 140,800 likes and 436 comments.

“He was like, ‘I could have sworn I found this last winter,'” one viewer commented, while another wrote, “Bro is STRESSED.”

Another person added what the dog was thinking: “How can I relax? IS HE LOOKING RIGHT AT US?! DO SOMETHING WOMAN.”

A dog owner said: “We had one try to climb up the head of the bed to get to the dog in our room! It was so funny.”

Bavarian mountain hound

Bavarian Mountain Hounds, originally bred in Germany, were used as scent dogs to help track wounded game. They are agile and sporty as they are designed to handle steep mountain slopes.

A Dogster magazine article about the breed states that these dogs were originally bred as a cross between the Bavarian Hound and the Hanoverian Hound, but today they have developed into their own breed. Some are still used for tracking or hunting, but they also make excellent companion dogs as they are loyal, affectionate, and bonded with their owners.

Known for their cool tracking ability, Bavarian Mountain Hounds can discern whether a species is wounded or not. Tenacious and fast, these dogs can also work as hunting dogs.

These dogs average 17 to 20.5 inches in height and weigh between 37 and 66 pounds. Their average lifespan is between 12 and 15 years.
