Again, no one is questioning that dogs will (well, a lot of dogs will)
keep challenging you until you arrive at a modus vivendi; and some will
keep trying it on until old age or boredom sets in. I don't know how
this discussion became one in which it's being argued that Lawrence is
right and the straw man is wrong.
