Why One Man's Dog Loves Another
As some of you know I recently moved to Indiana to winter here with my son. Whenever I visit it always drives my son nuts because his Cocker Spaniel is so absolutely devoted to me, even abandoning my son's bed for mine, this dog always in my presence and obeying every command without fault. This has been going on for several years now and despite my son's best efforts he has finally given up all hope of ever being top dog with his own dog. But why does this dog love me so much, even with my routine extended absence?
Last night, after everyone was fast asleep, as on most nights when I'm visiting, I retreat to my basement hideaway and I unlock the bottom drawer of my filing cabinet where all the dog treats and secret munchies are stored. Together the dog and I curl up to a good movie and a few snacks, come morning all evidence has been erased. (Kids, they just don't catch on sometimes.)
