: My Hero!!

  I just had to share a really funny story about my "guard dog".  I was cleaning my house today and, after moving some stuff around, I let the dogs back inside from the yard.  A couple of minutes later Tonka was barking the "alert" and I ran (well it was more like a fast waddle) to see what was the problem and I found my big hero protecting me, my daughter, and everything in our home from........HI S REFLECTION!!! ::)  I had put a full length mirror in the hallway entrance and he thought it was another dog!!  The funniest part was he couldn't decide to fight or flee...he would bark and bark (the ROOO-ROOO) and then tuck his tail and run (I think because the reflection was barking too! haha) then come back to bark at it some more.  By the time I had stopped laughing he had started to figure it out.....but I wish I had a camera!! ;)

That is such a funny story!! I would have loved to see pics of that.  Sounds like he was doing his best to protect you from the mean barking doggie! lol ;D



And I could definitely see why Leo was admiring himself... he's such a looker!  ;D

LOL........... .....that is too funny.  Yeah, I would have loved to see pics of that as well.  I've never had a dog that's been startled or interested in their reflection.
