“if My Dogs don’t like somebody then that person is not to be Trusted.”
One of our beloved A.S. raised with our young children, HATED my mother! And did not want her inside our house, or in the yard!!!
A bit anthropomorphic... the dog thought the kids were hers?
That dog knew the sound? or the time of the school bus, to be outside when they arrived, first waiting in the back to see the distant bus, then the front as they arrived.
Nothing to do with the dog on the bridge, but, a “good doggie” story ...
We had a Blue Heeler who thought we couldn’t farm without her ... especially couldn’t work cattle without her. Hubs said she was better help than most people.
Anyway, she was also a very quiet, polite and well-mannered house dog. NEVER barked.
Until she heard Obama give a speech on TV. She sounded off then even after we shushed her, kept growling.
