A view from the Piper cam this morning

thirdgenlxi · 11-15-2011, 12:42 PM

So.... Piper has been escaping from the fence lately, and I can't seem to figure out where she's getting out at. I've walked the entire fence line and can't find any holes or loose spots in the fence where she could be getting out (kinda wondering if she's jumping it??). She never does it when I'm there and watching her, and even when I tried to bait her out by walking the other dogs around on the outside of the fence, she just glared at me giving me the, "do you think I'm stupid??", look, lol. She never runs off when she gets out, just wanders around the property and lays on the hill in the mulch pile by the house and chews on mulch, lol. But still, I want her to stay inside the fence for her own safety (there's lots of loose animals of all varieties out here in the sticks where I live)

So I had an idea to find out where and how she's getting out.... I strapped my GoPro camera to her collar

And the video.... of course she didn't get out now, lol. But the video still came out kinda cool..... funny seeing everything from their view. Note the awesome 'come when called' towards the end, all the way from the very back of the yard, heheh

Dude that was awesome!!

Awesome!!! I love this view!

I've wanted to do this to my dog for frisbee or mountain biking but my contour probably won't work as well.

I actually saw something like this the other day on an Animal Planet show called Bad Dog. This dog was the Einstein of the dog world and was always escaping. DId the coolest dog stuff.

Thanks for the idea! I'll ahve to annoy my dog with this soon.

I feel like I just watched Benji filmed by the cinematographer for the Bourne films.

Wow, when the ground dries up, I want to strap my camera to Rocky and capture what it looks like when he goes for an all out sprint.
