That dog looks pretty docile with that girl.
I bet if someone were to threaten that little girl, a whole nuther side of that dog would come out.
I picked my three year old niece up and tossed her in the air and my brother’s doberman lunged at me. My brother yelled “HEY, NO!” in his loudest man-voice and the dog stopped.
First time I ever seen that dog snarl.
You don’t mess with doberman’s humans, especially kids.
That is weird because I have no children, so it's not as if they were raised around them.
But every one of them is obsessed with kids and will do goofy things just to get the kids close to them and laughing.
Odin is the worst.
When he sees a kid, he does his entire repertoire of tricks, totally on his own, just to get them to come pet him.
It's crazy.
My dobie saved my mom from an attacker.
He simply saw the guy coming and got up and sat at her feet, and stared at him. He turned around 180 degrees and headed off back into the woods.
She was alone at the tie on a huge campsite, and the dog was sleeping out of sight. I was about a mile away. The would-be attacker called out “are you back here by yourself?” as he approached.
That dog had great instincts.
