Example Of Why Dogs Are Better Than Most People

[PullMyFinger]

I'll add a story about my mother in law's dog. She used to do daycare at her home. We gave her a St Bernard puppy for Christmas one year in the 80's. He was the cutest little guy you ever saw. Well he grew to be around 180 lbs. His favorite place was in the breezeway between the house and garage because it was usually cool in there. One day the daycare kids were out waiting for the school bus when a neighbors dog got out of his kennel. This dog was mean and was barking and snarling at the kids. The kids were very frightened. BO (the St Bernard) went right through the closed screen door without hesitation and through the underground fence (which gave him quite a shock) and kicked that dog's butt. My mother in law said the last thing she saw was BO chasing that dog down the highway. He came back a little while later and sat at the end of the driveway for her to come take his collar off so he could come back in. What a great dog, he actually gave you a hug when you came to her house, he was that big. He would get up on his hind legs and put his big old paws on your shoulder and just hug you.

yes i did. i agree. a beautiful article well worth reading-- sometimes animals do things that surpass all logic and normal animal behavior. better than most humans at times.
however the OP was not a dog story, it compared human and animal behavior.
so did i.
