Dogs of any breed read even the slightest messages in body language, they also smell chemical changes caused in the human body by different emotions, such as frustration , fear, ect, and finally they can "feel" how a person is ...is it a friendly pat or an apeasing pat, is this person touching me with care or disregard? dogs are very intuned with lots of things.....and they can read what YOU the pack leader is feeling too, if your pup sensed any feelings from you about the other person, then he will adopt them as his, due to your the leader he trusts your feelings.I hope it all turned out ok in the end, I would of been so mad about the sedation, I personally woulda just been present with my dog, at least at my vets you could, unless its actual surgery.
