My sweetie got a Chihuahua many years ago. He was named Chico. Later I began to call him Chico the Wonder Dog, for what to me was obvious reasons. He was very intelligent and the most foul tempered dog I ever saw. He loved Donna Lee and hated me from the very beginning. When he was about a month old, he snapped my finger when I tried to pet him. I flipped him on his nose and he yelped and never liked me after that.
For the next nineteen years he loved it when my sweetie picked him up and cuddled him. For those same 19 years, he barely allowed me in the same room without growling at me.
Then one day, when he had just turned 19 years old and after he was blind and deaf and crippled with age and barely able to go up and down the steps to outside and back, (he had a 10X4 foot lawn I made for him) I was sitting at my PC and he came over between my legs. How strange is this...he whined a little whine and scratched my leg. At first I just scratched behind his ear (something I had seen Donna do) but then he put both hands (he didn't like it when anyone called them his 'paws') on my leg. I was completely taken aback. He had never do...

He had never done that before. I had not held him in 19 years but now, he wanted me to pick him up.
I picked him up and he lay his face against my cheek and whimpered. I stood up and walked into the great room where Donna was. She almost fainted when she saw me holding Chico the Wonder Dog. She asked what was happening and I told her, he wanted me to tell her, his most beloved person in the world, that he didn't want to be here anymore. He was ready to go to Doggie Heaven but he couldn't tell his sweet mistress,-he asked me to tell her for him...so I did. It was the only time in his 19 year life he wanted anything from me.
He moved his face away from me and Donna Lee took him and caressed his face.
She cried and asked me to take him to the vet's office. I told her, no, she needed to take him...and hold him until he went to sleep so he wouldn't be alone. Of course, she agreed and that is what she did.
No, I get along with people better than animals. I can't help it when I lose a person,-a loved one,- but I sure don't intend to lose another Chico the Wonder Dog. That I can help.

Some breeds are good at sounding the alarm, but many are not capable of fighting off an intruder. I had a friend with a pitbull and when someone broke into his house the dog leapt around and wanted to play. The dog was bred to be a companion and not a guard dog or a fighter, and did not have a high prey drive to begin with. Akitas, Huskies, Dalmations, Dobermans can make good guard dogs, but they're not foolproof. I hate to see animals treated as alarm systems when they're obviously not trained to do so. The training that a guard animal receives may also make it unsuitable for contact with children.

Hate to say it, but to copy someone's picture and claim to play with their dogs as your own, well you must be somewhat of a loser.
But when I say I get along better with animals, I mean non human animals.
