Why did she do this? I don't understand why she she went right up to Kate and her dog Quote
alicat613 Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 Must've felt comfortable around them. My pup likes everyone, but to different degrees. I think some people and some animals just have better "auras" about them, something that says to your dog, hey that's a nice person! Or maybe I read too much into things LOL. Glad Diva had fun! Quote
Malamum Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 I think dogs pick up on people's attitude towards them. Indy knows who he can get away with stuff with and who he can't. When my parents come to visit he does exactly what my Dad tells him to do because he knows my Dad won't take any crap, however he is very naughty for my Mum because he knows she won't inforce any of the rules.

courtnek Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 They have a natural "internal sense" of people in general. They can somehow tell when people like them, when they are safe, and when that person should be avoided or taken on. Maybe it is an aura....No one really knows how they see.... I had a friend who's GSD threatened everyone that got too near to Jerry. He was in the backyard the first time I went to jerry's house, and being a dog lover I wandered right up to the fence to see him better. His name was "Vice"....He came up to the fence - kinda wary, and sniffed me. Jerry turned around and yelled "DONT touch him!!" but by that time Vice was wagging his tail and getting petted.... we became instant friends...Jerry couldnt believe it, so I told him he was just hanging around with all the wrong people..... LOL they just seem to know Quote
