Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] A smile for today
One morning not long ago I had taken my daily walk with my German Shepherd Dog,
Koda before going to work. On our way back home I saw a little boy waiting on
the corner for the school bus. I would say he was about 7 years of age. He also
saw us walking towards him. Within seconds of that, he bent over in a play bow
manner waiting for Koda to get closer. Then, as we got about 15’ or so from him
he stood up with a quite serious look on his face. What I had taken from his
body-language, was most likely, Koda looked extremely large as we got closer
and forgot about doing the play bow. [smile] Koda also had his eye on the
little boy the whole time -- His head held high and ears erect as we were
approaching him. So, I can imagine how large Koda looked as we came up to him.
As we approached the little boy I had Koda sit. “Would you like to pet my dog,
Koda?” I asked him. His eyes really got big, and immediately with much
enthusiasm said, “Oh Yes!” I had to teach him how to approach a strange dog. I
then told him to just stand there for a second or two so Koda could smell and
get to know him better before he could pet him. The boy was adorable in his
manners -- standing like a little stone statue while holding his breath. “You
can pet him now," I said. He looked up at me with a very serious look and said:
“Your dog is really going to like me, because, I have chocolate in my pants!”
