My Kiowa can tell the difference between a Jordanian Christian and a Jordanian Muslim, no joke. She wags her tail around the Christian but gets still and utters a low growl at the Muzz.
Moslems DONT like dogs, especially if they are large dogs. A few years ago, my now ex-wife, was at the library and met a Moslem woman looking at books on art. She and the little urchins had been abandoned by her husband, their father. My ex invited this woman and her 2 kids to the house to look at some paintings that my ex had done. As my ex opened the door she was greeted by our two big black dogs. The muhamedan woman grabbed her kids and ran screaming from the house to her car. Muslims don’t like dogs to start with and especially if they are black they consider them evil. All I know is I am glad that I still have my two beautiful black girls!
Animals are amazing that way. One of my cats used to growl at the old lady drunk in our apartment building. Another one of my cats (who customarily ran from strangers arriving in our home) on separate occasions recognized my grown son who lives at a distance and my distant cousins when they came to visit, and jumped right onto their laps.
