Such “smart “ dogs

Today a coyote came into somebody’s backyard. No one is outside, humans or pets. There’s no danger. The coyote is just standing there being a coyote. Well, these two large dogs lost their minds and barreled straight through a glass door to chase it off. People’s comments? How brave the dogs were, how smart, how protective. Along with the side comments about getting doggies some steak and hoping that doggies weren’t hurt by the big bad sliding glass door. If the coyote threatened the people, I could see this. But those idiot dogs broke an undoubtedly expensive door and injured themselves for no reason. How could that be perceived as smart in any sense of the word?
