Although I truly love dogs and think they are man's best friend, there is one dog I never trusted. His name was Lobo and I swear he had to be half wolf. My friend had a long driveway you had to walk about 100 ft to get from their gate to their front door and that dog bit me viciously once on the back of my leg after sneaking up on me. Through a pair of jeans, ripping them, and drawing blood. Just because it barks doesn't mean it's trustworthy. His bark and bite were hardcore.

Dogs learn their behavior from their owner.

Are you calling my friend a rabid beast?!

No, depends on the company he keeps. Do you visit him often? That could foretell trouble. j/k
Did the dog have a previous owner?

It was about 15 years ago. Not sure who the dogs true "owner" was as they lived on a small farm, for lack of a better term. A couple horses, goats, chickens, and other dogs. Lobo was just not a nice dog, that's all I'm saying.

Saint Bernards are known for helping to rescue distressed travelers in the mountains, but the tables were turned Sunday in northern England.

Sixteen volunteers from the Wasdale mountain rescue team took turns carrying Daisy, a 121-pound Saint Bernard, from England's highest peak, Scafell Pike. The mountain rescue team spent nearly five hours rescuing Daisy, who had collapsed Friday evening while descending the mountain with her owners.

Rescue workers said Daisy was displaying signs of pain in her rear legs and was refusing to move. After consulting with a veterinarian's office, they administered some pain relief and adjusted their stretcher, which is designed for humans, to be more dog-friendly. They also packed a few treats to help settle her down.

If someone had rescued my dog when I was a boy they would have made a life long friend because I loved my dog like he was a member of my family. I imagine the St. Bernard, a great dog type, owner felt similar, so God bless those climbers who helped rescue the dog.

As if there weren't enough reasons to love them, here is a study linking them to our childrens' well being.

Young children with pet dogs seen having fewer social interaction problems than other kids
Linda Searing, The Washington Post

Published 8:17 am EDT, Monday, July 27, 2020
Young children with family dogs were 23 percent less likely to have social interaction problems than children whose households do not have a dog, some recent research suggests.

The finding comes from an analysis of data from a three-year study of 1,646 households with preschool children ages 2 to 5. Specifically, the researchers found that children who had a dog were 30 percent less likely to engage in antisocial behavior and 40 percent less likely to have problems interacting with other children than were youngsters from homes that did not include a dog.

The Science-Backed Benefits of Being a Dog Owner
https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/ar...of_being_a_dog_owner?utm_source=pocket-newtab

Petting a dog has been shown to reduce cortisol (the stress hormone), for example, and caring for a dog releases oxytocin (the bonding hormone that calms us and increases our trust in others).

For example, one study found that people who acquired a dog reported fewer minor health problems and rated themselves as healthier than non-pet owners, up to 10 months later. Another study found that dog owners live longer and that pet owners make fewer annual doctor visits than non-owners, even after considering gender, age, marital status, income, and other health-related factors.
1. Dogs stave off loneliness
2. Dogs reduce stress and anxiety
3. Dogs help us get along with others
4. Dogs keep us healthier

The picture of your sheepadoodle made me laugh, he looks so much like ours (except color) in that photo. Long and slinky. I’ve throwing in a photo of ours watching her (literally) favorite show (The Marvelous Mrs. Maizel. Grabs her attention every time). But anyway, sheepadoodle are such lovely dogs in looks and temperament.

I know a pro-cat post here is sort of like me trolling in Orange Man Good, but we just got a kitten, a Scottish Fold, and he's the damn friendliest cat ever. Dare I say ... almost like a dog!

Slippery slope indeed. Before we know it, Switzerland might have to make rectangular Toblerones as the apes clearly prefer 4 corners for scratching over 3.
