The dog in my avatar is a Dalmatian.
She did some things that I would not exactly call "smart". I would take her a few times a month to a lake about 5 miles from where we lived near the Reno, Nevada airport.
This was Virginia Lake which is surrounded by homes and apartments and is near a number of shopping malls so it gets a lot of traffic.

On the way back from walking her around the lake she was still full of her normal boundless energy. I had a car with a hatchback seat which I would put down when I took her places.
She chased her tail in the back of the car. Caught it. Chomped down and proceeded to bleed heavily. She kept on chasing her tail while bleeding. Needless to say, the car's windows around the letdown hatchback seat looked like something out of a Quentin Tarantino movie. The blood was splattered on every window with some all over me as well.
She stopped bleeding after a short time but I still had 4 miles to go home before I could clean and tape up her tail.
She also often got away from me while walking around Virginia Lake a couple of times so she could chase the couple of around ducks and geese off of the shore where they were basking in the sun. She would chase them into the lake and have to swim twenty or more feet to the shore.
