I know this is another weird question about animals, but I have to ask. Our dog has befriended a mole. I am very serious. If we don't let him out when the mole is around he lays and cries/weeps on his blanket. Are moles dangerous ...that is do they carry diseases, do they bite...you know...all that stuff. I thought at first he was just curious, but he is obsessed the little animal. Any help will be appreciated.

I think the mole has surfaced because of the heavy rain.

Moles aren't normally a threat to dogs but they are prone to diseases as are most animals, especially rabies though it's not common, they can bite if threatened but usually they wouldn't be bothersome.

Thanks Dotty. I think he went back underground. This dog loves all animals, even birds.

you're welcome Gabriel, remember moles are nocturnal and blind so really don't pose a threat, dogs are playful and perhaps the mole would be the one who should worry if it pops up and the dog's hungry or angry

OMG my sides are busting from laughing at myself.
The previous thread I read was about hamburger (I picked it from the reference list at right column this site) so when I saw your thread title "MOLES AND DOGS" I assumed it was about mole (the mexican/chocolate sauce) and hot dogs!
(still snickering)
