That dog thinks he’s the alpha, probably because the owner was never forceful enough. The alpha doesn’t take shit from betas.
I have the same thought whenever I see a parent/parents at Wal-Mart that have out-of-control kids.

That’s a lesson in tough love: a little meanness now to show them who’s boss, and they will reap the rewards of a well-regulated ego for the rest of their lives.

“Sorry that you are finding yourself in a situation based on assurances you got from me!…”

I thought it was revealing, though, how most of those people talked to the dogs. Where I’m from, we don’t ask “Did you do this?” but say “Look what you did!” That goes for children of a certain age, too – why give them incentive to lie when it’s clear that neither Mami nor Papa would climb onto the counter and break the cookie jar?

That’s because dogs have consciences. Cats don’t.

There’s definitely a lot more going on in those canine brains than many people give them credit for: a basic idea of right and wrong, and a sense of shame–unlike the aforementioned politicians and others, who either never had one or else trained it out of themselves.

As a married Guy, I can say with assurance that those Guy Dogs are saying:”I’ll be GOOD…You’ll see, I CAN be good…Yep, I’ll change and be a better boy…You’ll be REAL PROUD, you’ll seeeee…”
