My Shiba Inu never fails to shock me with his almost human-like actions. One I remember very well was when my boy was just a baby he was in my lap crying because he was hungry and his Mom was upstairs getting his bottle ready. My Shiba Inu came up to my feet looking up at me, and cocked his head and then ran upstairs. He returned moments later with his rubber bone in his mouth. He jumped onto the armrest of the chair and dropped the rubber bone onto the baby’s stomach and then jumped back down again.

When you get a dog like that you realize that this is another being whose mind you have to respect--a true partner and friend. Don't forget he's a dog, but you do realize that this is a fur person.

a true partner and friend.

My late blue heeler “Digger” was like that, I remember when
she was a pup the first time I got down on the floor with her and made a play posture. She got so excited and ran around in circles, yipping. It was like she was saying,
“He speaks my language, he speaks my language!!!”.
