When I use to live in an apartment I had only one dog, a black lab named Winnie. Winnie is the sweetest dog, i have never seen her be mean to anyone or anything, very easy going.
Well one day we had a problem with are sink, it was really bad all the water from everyone elses apartments was coming up through our sink. So the landlord was going to send someone to fix it, he asked me if the maintanince people could just come in or if i wanted to be there. I told him i need to know when they come, since i have a dog I wanted to be there. Needless to say he never did tell me, i left one day to run errands. When i came back I found a very large man in my kitchen, I looked over and Winnie was sitting on the couch.
The maintanence guy told me that I have a very good dog. I thought he was saying this cause she was calmy sitting on the couch, but he told me when he first came in she went crazy, barking and growling at him like mad. He said he had to go on his hands and knees and crawl to the kitchen to the dog treat bowl and give her treats before she calmed down. I thought it was kind of funny only cause i was picturing this 6'5 big huge guy crawling to my kitchen scared of Winnie, my sweetie pie.
I was happy to know that Winnie would protect me and her home when im gone, she would never bite or hurt anyone, but she can sure scare them if they come in with no one home. I didnt know she had it in her.
I do have to say having dogs i feel much safer then i did without dogs. At night I know they will let me know if something is wrong.
Anyone else have a dog that surprised them with their protection skills?
