Wow.
If I put a stranger in the backseat with my Dobes, I’d have to eventually find a deserted spot to bury the evidence.

Fats Domino knew went He was in "Guard" Mode. We could simply tell Him to "Watch 'Em" and He was better than any door lock or car alarm. (The 2002 door locks were broken and were going to be a pain and spendy to fix.) In that mode He would only let Us get close to or into the car. Nobody else even if He knew who they were could get in the "zone" around the car. We could tell Him it was "OK" and He was just a big playful slobbering Puppy. Babies were His favorites because they would laugh and squeal when He licked them.
One time at a Family Dinner out we had several gallons of Margaritas by the pitcher for around 8-10 Adults with dinner.
As We exit the Mexican Restaurant one of the Cousins started going over to say Hi and pet Fat's. They had known each other for years but Fat's was in "Watch 'Em" mode. Well, drunk Cousin Dumbass was warned on his way over to the car Not to Do it but in his 'Rita-fied Wisdom filled condition kept going. He gets to the window and starts sweet talking to Fat's (who is in FULL CUJO MODE by this time) and puts his face in the window and Fat's bit him once through the upper lip and let go. Well 'Rita-brain yells out "He bit Me" and everybody said "You were warned not to do it and you already knew that was Fat's Job to guard the car. So don't blame Fat's"
I miss 'ol Fat Dog, He was one of a kind.💔
