Correct. If my dogs react badly to someone, I’ve learned to be guarded myself. They’re very good at detecting people who are no good. No idea how or why, but they are.
I don’t trust monkeys, too much like people.
My Rottweiler is the king of threat assessment.If he’s looking at a stranger and the hair on his back goes up a bit-I know that person is a possible problem.
dogs key in on body language. if a dog doesn’t like some one it usually a case of him noticing a change in there owners body language and reacting to that change. if you sub concisely don’t like some one the dog will key in on it.
Mine are more subtle. They take a step or two back from someone they’ve got a problem with, and have that stare, you probably know what I mean.
Sheldon takes a step forward toward the threat,positioning himself between me and a possible threat.His mindset is a bit confrontational but he takes his job seriously.
I’m on a gene-splicing rant today. Perhaps they can splice genes from those nice, thoughtful dogs and monkeys into the gang banging criminals who populate south Chicago, various other places associated with Democrats. Would be a big improvement—if they stop short of making them wag their tails and lick your hand.
I have a 25 lb Maine Coon. Precious cat who gets along wonderfully with my Golden Retriever & my 2 Blue Heeler puppies. In fact, he dominates them, lol.
Maine Coons are also extremely intelligent.
After having my attention called to an episode of a “Nature” program in which a species of monkeys communicated all things by having sex with one and all, I can relate their behavior only to the political class of humans.
