Whereas I tend to make friends with every dog I meet, lol. Still a cat person at heart, but a friend of mine has the most adorable beagle/basset mix that I’d love to steal...total couch potato and lovebug.
I know, right?
I have *never* had a dog not like me.
Not even ones who were, in theory, “savage junkyard guard dogs”.
I first discovered my “secret power” when I was about 4 years old.
Dad took some metal he needed welded to old man Zello back in the woods.
Zello had dozens of junkyard dogs, mostly GSDs/GSD mixes.
They congregated around a huge pile of tires.
While dad and Zello were fixing dad’s piece of equipment, I discovered the dogs.
[Zello couldn’t even feed them normally, he pushed their bowls to them with a long stick, they were that vicious]
Couple hours later, I hear my dad screaming my name, in a panic because they could not find me.
I was on top the tire pile, with all the dogs snuggled around me and we’d been sleeping.
The guys showed up and the dogs started snarling.
Wouldn’t let them near me.
Dad kept yelling “GET DOWN HERE!” and I soon realized, he could not get past the dogs guarding me so I didn’t have to listen to him.
Eventually, I did come down because I was getting hungry and it was getting dark and cold but it sure took a long time to hug and kiss every one of those dogs goodbye.
:D
