If I know you, my dog may know you. Otherwise, you're a stranger.

Chief's not giving in to the unbearable heat here in Texas. As for me, well I wouldn't refuse a nap this afternoon. However, like Chief, I feel like I'm missing out if I sleep away valuable daylight hours. Does our dog ever sneak naps? Absolutely. But as soon as I or J make a move to a different room, Chief is alert and on the move with us. That is his way, his instinct, and in short, his job. It took time for me to adjust to having a constant shadow, but I wouldn't know how to feel comfortable without him now. Chief is a pack-oriented dog, as Malinois tend to be. This is why they make such good personal protection dogs. They have a strong instinct to protect their people, and I'm honored to be one of Chief's people.

I love my two-dog escort to the bathroom and then to the kitchen/coffee pot every morning. Nothing like trying to brew and pour a scalding hot cup of coffee with two hounds nearby in case danger rears its ugly head! God bless 'em, they're sweet.
