I love dogs
I was bitten lightly a couple of times, but always welcomed the bite. That's how much I love them.
I remember one time, I was looking for a hotel in Switzerland, possibly Interlaken. There was a hotel sign that i could see from the road, so I parked and walked towards the lake. I could not see the hotel (lots of houses though that could have been inns) so i kept walking. 2 large guard dogs came barking furiously at me, but I kept walking towards the lake because it was night, I had been driving for 12 hours, and I really wanted a room near the lake. So one of the dogs came to me and showed his teeth. I kept walking. Then the dog, feeling/smelling that I was not bad but knowing that he had to do his job, took a little bite at one of the fingers of my hanging right hand. Just one finger. And with the tips of his front tips. Just enough to hurt, but I don't think he broke the skin, I don't think I bled. So, I decided that it was better for me to turn around and return to my car. Which I did. But I will always remember the kindness and the social judgement of this dog who had the right at that moment, because it seems that I was trespassing, to take my whole hand off. Which Turnoi would have done (take the whole hand off) if he had been this dog :o)
