How Many Dogs Does It Take To Change a Lightbulb?

Written by Pam on January 11, 2016

I saw this joke re-written to reflect how each dog breed would answer this question, if they could.  Very funny – of course we love all the responses, but the Golden Retriever and Labrador Retriever responses are … spot-on :@) :@)

If I can borrow a quote from Emily Dickinson…

“They (dogs) are better than human beings, because they know but do not tell.”

Our dog’s would have such stories to tell if they were capable of telling, but they always express a behavior in their actions – enjoy the responses by dog breed…

How Many Dogs Does it take to Change a Light Bulb?

Breed:                                  Personality Trait:

Afgan                                    Lightbulb? What Lightbulb?

Australian Shepard          First I will put all the light bulbs in a little circle..

Border Collie                      Just one.  And then I’ll check and replace any wiring that is not up to scratch!

Boxer                                    Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

Chihuahua                          Yo quiero Taco Bulb

Dachshund                         You know I can’t reach that stupid lamp!

Doberman                          While it’s dark, I’m going to sleep on the couch.

German Shepherd          I’ll change it just as soon as I’ve led these people from the dark, checked to make sure I haven’t missed any, and made one more perimeter patrol to see that no-one has tried to take advantage of the situation.

Golden Retriever        The sun is shining, the day is young, we’ve got our whole lives ahead of us, and you’re worrying about a stupid lightbulb?

Greyhound                         It isn’t moving, who cares?

Jack Russell Terrier          I’ll just op it in while I’m bouncing off the walls and furniture

Labrador Retriever     Oh, me, me!!! Pleeeeze let me change the light bulb?  Can I Huh?  Huh? Huh? Can I?

Old English Sheepdog    Lightbulb? Lightbulb? That thing I just ate was a lightbulb?

Pointer                                 I see it, there it is, right there…

Poodle                                  I’ll just blow in the Border Collie’s ear and he’ll do it.  Bu the time he’s finished rewiring the house my nails will be dry.

Rottweiler                           Make Me!

Schipperke                         It’s your lightbulb – change it yourself.  Unless… is there food involved?

Whippet                              For goodness sake, just let the Border Collie get on with it.  You can pet me while he’s busy!
