I have a Labrador German Shepard mix. Smart, sweet and very protective. His only fault is that he is the biggest racist Ive ever known.

A dog doesn’t ever jam. It may eat jam. And generally it doesn’t run out of ammo.

"His only fault is that he is the biggest racist Ive ever known." Interesting that you should mention that. We had a beautiful Collie years ago. She had a sweet, friendly disposition to everyone until....one day a "door-to-door" religious group arrived at our front gate. There was a black lady among them and the Collie reacted in a way that I've never seen before.
I don't think that it's racism on the dog's part. It is that they are seeing a human being that's very different from what they're accustomed to.

A dog will save your life. A cat will watch you die and then eat you.

Man’s best FRiend,...
All Spot's ever done is chase a black bear down the mountain when I was hiking. I keep the TownCar just for him!

Is a pitbull mix. As you can see by the picture the dominant breed is pitbull. The only labrador signs are the color and the tail. But i guess Labrador mix sounds better.

I saw this story on last night’s local news and do not have any sympathy for the dog owners. First of all, why are pets allowed on hiking trails in the forest? Or, are they? And, if they are allowed, they should be on leash.
This dog was off leash and chased the big cat, whose habitat the forest is. The big cat then defended itself. Okay?
These are irresponsible dog owners who place their own dog in jeopardy, not to mention other hikers who might be surprised by their dog.
If you want your dog to enjoy off-leash freedom, do it in your own backyard.

No. Not according to this story:
William Morse was hiking with his wife near a campground in the Cleveland National Forest, about 10 miles from Lake Elsinore, when a 120-pound mountain lion approached.
"Out of nowhere, a mountain lion just charged us, attacked us. And my dog saved our lives," Morse said.

I saw an interview with Mr. Morse last night and he clearly stated that his dog took off after the mountain lion. That was what started it.
The mountain lion may have appeared first but did not "charge" first. The dog chased, as is dog nature. Dog chases cat, it happens every day.
