Bandit, is definitely Canada's Naughiest Dog
Submitted by: Jennifer
Bandit is truly bad to the bone. We should have known from day one when he howled all night just to get his way. I put up with this for about a month getting no sleep before my husband said to just bring him to bed. From that day forward the dog managed to sleep perfectly fine (go figure!). If he does not get his way he lets you know and gets even. His worst offense is when he wanted to go pee at 4:00 am in the morning. He nudged me and I told him to go back to sleep. I got nudged again and again and continued to ignore him. I woke up a little while later to a warm sensation on my head. I tilted my head to see Bandit cocking his leg and peeing on my me. You have never seen a dog run as fast as he did (I swear to this day I can still see the little smile on his face). I chased him around the house in the middle of the night never catching him; meanwhile my husband was laughing hysterically at me.
He also is able to get out of any situation. This dog is maybe a foot tall, but he can climb up and over chain link fences, he can climb our 5 foot fence at home (we had to cover our dog run with chicken wire to prevent him from jumping our fence). The second kennel that we took him to had to make a special pen for him because he can climb over the pen wall to get to the other dogs. I mentioned second kennel because he was banned from the first kennel because it had chain link seperating the dogs and he chose to pee on all the other dogs over and over agian the entire time he was there.
When we walk Bandit he dislikes bikes, skateboard and tries to attack them all. He chases birds and never listens so we can never take him off his leash or else we are running around like a bunch of idiots chasing after him.
We have had a complaint to the Town about how much he barks and now we need to keep him inside to prevent getting tickets. Our neigbour on the one side is scared of dogs and she is one of the main reasons why we got chicken wire on his pen. He would scale the fence and balance on the top when she would walk by stare at her. At that point we decided that we needed to cover the top to prevent him from getting out and also from scaring the neighbours.
With all this being said about Bandit he is truly a great dog, he has a heart of gold and is an amazing part of our family. He is friendly and is always happy. His positive attributes far outweigh his negative ones (which is a lot I know).

I also wanted to add that Bandit is only one half of my Dynamic Duo. Ripley my other Jack Russell Terrier is also just as bad if not worse. She barks constantly at everything and has a mild aggression. I have tried bark collars on both fo these dogs only to have them find a way to waste the battery.
