fully aware of the good treatment we give them and a natural response to being well treated is that they will repay the favor of ensuring their owner of no harm. This is known as protection. A majority of this comes from the their "wolf ancestry".
During my observation with Marcelino I notice a sense of protectiveness. No matter where I am or what we're doing he's always fully aware of his surroundings, like a meerkat perching. Literally. When he's out in the front yard, back yard, or even inside the house he just skims the area like it's his job. Marcie will only bark or howl when he hears very obnoxious noises. For example the vacuum, the tv, lawn mowers, or cars that are simply driving by. Even the most clichè things of course. Oh yes, the mail man and the neighborhood cats. Marcelino goes crazy when he encounters them and the only way to calm him down is to remind him to be a good dog and to step up in the scene.
As you notice he barks a lot, but that's only because he's insecure. You can't help what he thinks.
Marcelino doesn't really bark at people. He's usually a friendly little guy that loves company. He'll do anything for your attention.
I liked how you described your dog looking like a meerkat perching. Dogs are loyal creatures as long as you treat them right. Good blog :)
ReplyDeleteI like how you started on how the dogs have loyalty. It's great that you put in amazing details of how he pays attention to his surrounding. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThe bond I have with my dog is incredible. Dogs are such loyal and loving creatures, I can see why they are considered "A mans best friend." Beautiful detail.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the comparison of your dog to a Meerkat. My dog is like that too, she is very overprotective of my little brother. It looks like you and Marcelino have a great bond!
ReplyDeleteThe description of your dog is good. My dog is really protective over me and it eases my mind sometimes. Nice blog!
