I think a big part of it is loyalty, but another part is common sense. When any of mine lay up against me, they fall asleep, because they know if I move or get up, it will wake them up. When I took one of my rescues out kayaking, she totally bonded with me and wouldn't let me out of her sight. I thought our outing was quite disasterous: she barked at everything non stop, she fell in the water twice, she caused the kayak to flood and fill up with water so I had to pull it out to dump the water out. But when we came ashore and she followed me around for an hour or more, I figured she had had a blast and didn't want to miss out on doing it or something again. Her previous owners dumped her at the pound, after breeding her at 1.5 years old, and finding she had elevated liver values. 2nd owners brought her back to the pound ... Then I got her. She really goes gaga over my hubby too. She has definitely become a part of our family, and I think she's beginning to feel it, too. It's great to watch her grow and see her personality develope in a caring environment.

Oh,... and Welcome to YT!!!
