If there\u2019s one thing you can count on with a Jack Russell Terrier<\/strong>, it\u2019s determination. These little dogs were bred to hunt, and once they\u2019ve spotted something they consider \u201ctheir mission,\u201d good luck convincing them to let it go. You know the phrase like a dog with a bone<\/em>? The person who coined it was probably talking about a Jack Russell. One particularly focused Jack Russell Terrier<\/a> has captured hearts after he was spotted camping out by a drainpipe, still waiting for the mouse he saw there three days ago. I’m not sure what he wanted to do with the mouse if it showed up again!<\/p>\n Dog parents everywhere are cracking up because this isn\u2019t stubbornness; it\u2019s typical canine commitment. You can almost hear him saying, \u201cI know<\/em> you\u2019re in there, buddy.\u201d It\u2019s a perfect example of how deeply dogs remember (and obsess over) the things that matter most to them, whether it\u2019s a squeaky toy, a squirrel, or in this case, one sneaky little mouse.<\/p>\n The clip was shared on the TikTok account @plushbyabbey, and people can’t stop cracking up at this persistent pup. “My dog still checks where he once found a cheese sandwich on our walk 1.5 years ago,” one dog mama commented. “My dog ONCE found a chicken drumstick under a bench in our park when she was about 10 months old. She’s now 6, and always has to have a quick check… daily,” someone else added. Another comment read, “Jack Russell parent, yeah, they\u2019re crazy AF also when you drop stuff and it lands under the sofa, they don\u2019t quit going after that either. Dropped an M&M, thought they were gonna try to dig to China, OMG!”<\/p>\n Related: Elated Chihuahua Struts with Pizza Slice After Discovering \u2018Sidewalk Snack\u2019 on Walk<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s easy to laugh, but this level of dedication is exactly what makes Jack Russells so lovable<\/a> and so relentless. Once their instincts kick in, they don\u2019t quit. And honestly? Same energy as my Pomeranian<\/strong>, Kingston, who watched me once drop a single gummy bear between the couch cushions by accident. Weeks later, he\u2019s still digging and sniffing around<\/a> like he\u2019s gonna find it and eat it. Spoiler alert! I already did that and ate it.<\/p>\n Dogs might not have the same kind of memory humans do, but when something captures their attention, it seems to stick.<\/p>\nDo Dogs Have Good Memories?<\/h2>\n
