What is the most difficult trick that your dog knows?
Jumping through hoops? Playing dead? Retrieving a specific kind of wrench? How about medieval combat?
When your humans are a bunch of pop culture enthusiasts, you can’t help but pick up a thing or two from them. Anna and Luke Kimbro love filming fantasy content that involves swashbuckling sword fights and choreographed duels.
All the while, Pinto Bean was watching these amazing duels play in front of her eyes.
The couple didn’t know it back then, but it was the start of a hero’s journey that will take Pinto Bean from a life of a house dog to the greatest swords-dog this world has ever known.
The Kimbros were filming a choreography when their dog happened to notice something nearby.
She saw a stick the length of a sword. And while other dogs would’ve run away with it, Pinto Bean, instead, did what every kid did.
“She picked up the stick and started chasing me down while waving the stick around like it was her own sword,” Anna Kimbro told The Dodo.
Pinto Bean chased Anna down and “slain” her with a stroke of her “blade.”
Since then, Pinto Bean has not been the same.
The taste of honorable mortal combat has ignited her senses. As Anna “fell”, she claimed her human’s sword as hers – a rightful prize for a peerless fighter.
The sword, bearing the resemblance to King Leonidas’ sword from the movie and comic book 300, has found a new master.
Pinto Bean honed her skills.
She dueled Anna. She dueled Luke. There were times that she dueled both. If it was of foolishness or arrogance to challenge Pinto Bean, none could say.
She even achieved what was thought was thought to be a tale akin to legends and myths – she has slain a most worthy of opponents, their vacuum cleaner.
Then one day, through passionate fighting, her weapons could not keep up with her skill.
Her very first sword got broken. The family gave the sword a proper goodbye, especially when it served Pinto Bean through the most difficult duels.
The sadness was short-lived, however, because a new one arrived by mail. This time, she got a sword that resembled Bilbo and Frodo’s sword The Sting from the Tolkien novels.
The flame of the swords-dog inside of her was rekindled.
As the Kimbros confessed, Pinto Bean is a big couch potato. She loves just chilling around like taking naps, reading books, or lounging about.
But when she’s given her blade, Luke says she could go for hours fighting anything in the name of her honor.
“She’s even tried to ‘fight’ my parents’ dog, Luna with a stick a couple of times, and she seemed pretty surprised that Luna was running from her like, ‘Ahhh, what are you doing?’ and didn’t grab a stick to fight back,” Anna told The Dodo.
It might not be a natural hobby for a dog, but who are we to stop Pinto Bean become the best sword fighter in the world?
Watch how this dog’s life changed after she picked up a stick.
