| ? Why does Ben (or other dogs for that matter...) bark at shady people? It's like he knows when someone is a dirtbag lol.... Whether its the bum asking for change or the drunk guy walking down the street, he senses it. Granted, he still barks at some nice people, but the majority of them just seem to be not normal I guess. Do dogs really sense this? Like the other day he was at the window just going crazy and I look out and didn't see anything.... from far away I saw a drunk dude walking towards the house... must have been like 30 ft and Ben knew it! Any similar stories out there? |

| Phew, I don't know if I should say this, it's not very PC, but anyway. I live in South Africa and I am 23 years old. I was in Grade 2 (kindergarten) in 1994, so I had no idea about Apartheid until it was over. Anyway, Cash is a racist! He goes crazy if he sees a black person. I feel bad about this, but I didn't train him that way. He hates it if a black person comes near me. In some ways, however, it isn't a bad thing. He still barks at anyone who comes too close and he alerts me if there is something wrong. He is my little protector!

| I don't believe that's being racist, I just think that (correct me if I'm wrong) dogs only see in black and white, so when they see a dark colored person they probably can't see them all that well. Dunno. But regardless there must be like a doggy sense out there..... |
