• My chihuahua will become a little demon if any stranger gets too close to me. You can get close to him and he won’t do shit and will, in fact, be super friendly, but you try and shake my hand or something and he will snarl and bark and snap at you.

      He’s just angry the attention isn’t going to him.

      story about my sister's dog that isn't related to the overall thread here but I just want to tell because it's one of my favorite memories of him (he's still alive)

      I’ll never forget the one time it was so obvious my sister’s dog was jealous. My long-distance partner was visiting so we were cuddling and whatnot; and I kind of hasn’t noticed but he’s whining and running around us in the background. So my partner gets up as we were moving over slightly and the second I sit down – but before my partner has sat down in my lap – he dives into my lap and just looks up at me with the most pleading face I’ve ever seen him have, his tail doing that little timid half wag dogs sometimes do.
