Brandy is a real people dog


Yesterday, the cable tv man came by to fix a problem. He came in and bent down to give Brandy a few pats on the head. That was it.....she loved him.

She followed him into the room and proceeded to sit as near to him as possible. When I ordered her out of the room, she would go out and come in almost immediately. And when he finished and was having a glass of coke outside, she sidled up close to his feet and lay down and rubbed her head against his legs.

And this is not a new behaviour. She loves the aircon maintenance guys 'cos one of them pets her. She specially loves kids visiting as they play with her (I have to step in sometimes 'cos they like to chase her round and round or have her chase them and she gets really really tired). Even those who ignore her will get an immediate welcome should they even say hello to her. A real people loving dog. But this can be a problem for those who are scared of her. She wants to get close to them and all she gets are squeals of fear. I then get orders to lock her up. I hate locking her up. If you don't like dogs, just ignore her (do NOT HIT or KICK her or any animals not harming you for that matter), she is fine with that. But once she hears squeals, she thinks its a game. If for health or religion, you have to avoid dogs, thats ok with me. I like people who have a fear of dogs because they have little experience with them but are willing to be introduced to Brandy. I think these people are brave.

Doesn't she look cute?
