These stories are great. I'll share one. A few years ago I had taken Cite, a Boss son, with me to a judging assignment just for company shortly after he had finished . Another judge on the panel came up to my motel room to visit, and when I opened the door, she went directly to the couch. Cite was loose in the room and by the time she had settled on the couch, he had her ankle firmly, but gently between his jaws with his eyes cut to me as if to ask, "What do you want me to do with this ?" When I introduced her to him everything was fine, but thank goodness she was a dog person. Think they need training to protect sensibly ? Not likely!
