A lot of this is the urban dog syndrome (my words of description) and much of
what I see written here lately about the "dog thought this" appears to be
simple transference and projection.  These dogs react/work from very ancient
instincts.  They are wonderful sensitive admirable dogs, but dogs as Mitzi
says.  Thank goodness for that.
