Married nearly 40 years. We have had dogs, Labradors, all that time. I remember each one of them and the memories can bring tears. Chloe is 12 years old and just starting to slow down a little. I am 76 and wonder what to do when she passes. Maybe a rescue.
Ha ha. Son David squashed his tiny pet white mouse in bed. The two of them went through college together , mouse in top pocket Every one of us cried all morning we missed him so much Strange world of feelings
 
Great photo! This is not a photo, but an oil painting on paper dated Xmas ‘23 by my great uncle Calvin M. Kibler. Calvin gave this painting to my mother for her high school graduation present. Mom was born in 1921. The painting now has come down to me.

Not sure about Bear but the Grandma of the labs in my Avatar Came to the Kyle of Bute with me one year. She went as a dear little dog. Came back as a Little Deer Dog. Never went there without her after.. OLD DOG..
 
I sure miss our old Lab/Dane mix, Meg. Maybe not much of a hunting dog, we went out after grouse a few times and all she found was a porcupine. She sure loved going shooting with me, however. She always got all happy and excited whenever I got out the rifle.

My guess is that even the biggest, strongest, most docile, dumb, wonderful dogs we've had that were not capable of harming a fly, envision themselves as fierce bear slayers when they dream.

Speaking of dreaming, we thought our rescue dog was snoring at first. But we think she was really dreaming about things. Maybe begging for food, barking at other animals, etc. she would sometime twitch a lot which I think she was running in her dream. Maybe chasing something imagining being a eolf or great hunter or something.
 
Dogs have enriched my life beyond description. Those who are not dog people can never really understand the bond that develops between man and dog. Maya was my first hunting dog and during the 14 years she spent with me she remained by my side every second possible.

There is an anonymous quote I think of that many of us can identify with.



“It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are.”
 
That works two ways, if I saw a dog hurting any of my neices or nephews there'd be a "carcass" for animal control or the coroner (or both) to pick up.There are no stupid dogs but the same can't be said about some of their owners. Hard to imagine some people who let their pets wander the neighborhood where kids are at play.

I take your point. You can not stand by while a problem dog harms the innocent. But I'd want a piece of the problem dog's owner. Problem dogs are the result of problem people.
It is rural here. Mostly farms and small developments. Very rarely do I see dogs penned up. And it is extremely rare to see a stray.

That's where alot the more aggressive dogs belong, rural and "out on the farm".They are not what you'd call community minded.
