Default smart dogs

Our miniature (17 lbs so not all that miniature) poodle is very smart - he has trained his humans to pick him up and CARRY him outside to the fenced portion of the yard in the morning and before bed. He will only walk to the porch if you open his leash drawer. Otherwise, He just patiently waits on the couch. Oh, except in tomato season. He likes to take a couple of bites out of the ripe tomatoes that are low on the vine. For 2 years I was blaming rabbits or squirrels or raccoons, until I caught him in the act.
