Have you never tried catching and messing with bugs you find as a kid? I know I did.

My yorkie likes to play with the extra large flying beetles. She throws them in the air and boops them with her nose over and over again.

its screaming might be shorting out the dog's brain a bit

Be careful. I hear those are really bad for your dog if they eat to many.

Cicadas are crazy; sleep a whole bunch, wake up just to make booty calls and then smash until they die from exhaustion.

My dog does this crap too. So far he has brought me three mice, a vole, two bats, two cicadas, two possums, and a kitten. All alive.

I've never met a mean cicada. They just get loud.

Carrying birds softly was bred into labradors so people wouldn't have to pick broken bones out of their food. Your dog is part lab.

cicadas make weird noises and given the time between emergence depending on where you live this might be the only time ur dog experiences it

I am sorry for your ears! Because of the cicadas! But adorable pup!

My dog used to do this. We’d try to get them out and then “crunch”

My dog likes to play with any bugs she finds. When she finds a cicada that's just come out of the ground, she will pick it up and throw it.

Plus, she likes to actually eat them. Cicada season is pretty good when you're a dog.

It’s not some ridiculous political bullshit so I can only assume that’s why certain people are downvoting.

To the person who left the poo bag, I hope your dreams at night are littered with the thought of sucking on it.

Cicadas and June bugs are harmless and absolutely the most awful creatures. I can't do it, I can't. They're so creepy

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Most creepy crawlies are really only the latter. Cicadas are entirely harmless goofy idiots who fly like they're drunk, don't be afraid.

It looks like a lab or retriever type dog; aren't they famous for having soft mouths so they don't damage the prey they retrieve?

5 years ago | Likes 403 Dislikes 0

Retrievers have soft mouths? That's about as silly as pitbulls having special mouth powers too. Likely the dog is just gently, not magical.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 3

Soft mouthed is specific terminology that refers to holding something very gently, not some kind of oral padding as you seem to think.

Yup look up photos of labs and goldies carrying eggs in their mouths without breaking them. They’re so gentle

Soft mouth? You mean grip awareness?

I suppose so. Here in the UK that's referred to as being soft mouthed.

When one of the dogs didn't mangle up the ducks they bred it any any puppies it had that also didn't mangle the prey.

Jeremiah, does that bitch have a soft mouth or a hard palate? Old Samson here’s got some floppy jowls! (Newfoundland, 1834)

Ok I did a wiki dive and apparently they were purpose bred by some bored English nobles beginning in the late 1830s
