My wife and I bought a house about 6 years ago. The previous tenants were going to do a lease to own situation that fell through. When they left the house, they cut all of the power and left it vacant for a couple of months. After we made our offer, I was walking through the house and opened the refrigerator and was presented with about 40 lbs of spoiled meat that was abandoned. The smell was awful and no matter what I did for cleaning, the fridge was never going to bounce back. Due to timing, we moved in before we could address the fridge, so it was still there when we brought our dogs in for the first time. Brutus walked up to the fridge, smelled it, and peed on it. We all just laughed because he was right. He has only had one accident in the house over the past 7 years, and this wasn't it. We bought a new fridge the next night. Maybe not the funniest thing of all the things our dogs have done, but one of my favorites.
