Agree. No such thing as a 100% "bomb proof" animal.
They have their own mind and latent behavior potential. Any animal can move in 6 directions: R, L, F, B, Up, Down. Some can do all 6 at same time (as bull riders know).
Some are just more "dependable and predictable" than others. Age tends to mellow one.
However, I never fully trust any animal that is larger than me (or even partially as large), and is genetically programmed to have "4 wheel drive, supercharged, and on nature's steroids". They can all spook at things that we may not see or hear.
"Bomb Proof" is another one of those sleezy terms used by some sellers to sell an animal to the unknowing.
