You are right about that. Rhodies possess more human traits than any other dogs I have ever been owned by. BTW, I should add that Boss passed that night, w/o a need to take him to the vet to be put down. Considerate to the end.
My current RR is about as narcissistic as zero.
My brother-in-law was at work and his mother took the dog out on a cold winter morning. When she brought the dog back in he laid down on the cold concrete in the garage. She knew the dog was not well and told him to come in because she did not want the dog to be uncomfortable on the cold floor. The dog obediently got up and went in the house laid on the rug and quietly passed away.
