When Magnus was a pup, I used to take him walking at night time. During summer, I see toads on the sidewalk. Well, one time Magnus got curious and went over to inspect it. (I didn't let him get close enough to lick) During the inspection, the toad decided to jump. Scared the c**p out of Magnus apparently b/c he jumped up just like the toad did. LOL Yeah... after that, he's not so curious about toads anymore.
