Quoted:
20 years ago we had a pet Coyote. My wife got him as a tiny pup from my Brother-in-Law after he whacked the mom. He wasn't much of a hunting dog as we know hunting dogs and we wasn't much of a guard dog as we know guard dogs. Because of him we couldn't have any thing nice on our 5 acres, no chickens or cats or rabbits. He killed my favorite cat right in front of me. He was just an opportunistic killer, but as a dog he was great, he really liked my wife and I and we really liked him.
Eh, I would have killed him on the spot. But I like cats far more than I like dogs.
Our dog is very, very submissive. Particularly to me. But she likes to play rough and I am the only one she can play rough with, then when I am done I just look at her sternly and tell her it is time to be done and she actually cowers and shows her belly. Never made her do it intentionally, she just does.
