ZipZap Attack

We had some tiny little remote control cars a while back that we used to torment Fang and Errol with when they were little. When we first played with them, they were scared to death of the things, but after a while, they learned how to defend the house from the terror of the ZipZaps. Errol was the first one to figure out that if he snatched up a car and carried it over to a carpeted area, it would essentially be out of commission. Fang eventually caught on, though he still prefers to just carry them around in his mouth until we make him give them up. As you can see, they started to get quite excited whenever the little cars came out. We've never seen Errol move quite so fast as when he is in "kill" mode. It makes us wonder what would happen if we let a rat or mouse loose in the house for him to hunt. I'm also quite proud of the fact that Fang actually minds us when we tell him to "drop it" or "leave it". Those are pretty much the only commands he successfully follows without the added incentive of a treat. We took this video the last time we played with the cars before we had to throw them away due to little parts starting to fall off here and there. Sorry for the poor quality - I had to dial it down quite a bit due to the length of the video.
