Today I saw:
1) A pug that was walking behind its owner and making loud, heart-wrenching snorting sounds. Then it cast a sad look, as if saying, "Kill me! Dude, please, just kill me! An average cat is twice my size, my face looks like a crumpled newspaper, I can barely breathe, just listen to these wheezes! Kiiiiill me!"
2) A Jack Russell Terrier that was enthusiastically trying to tear a metal fence apart. Or maybe just break it with its strength, I'm not sure. The owner gave it a smack on the head, and suddenly the terrier let out such a growl, as if the owner was about to die. Maybe not right now, but when it gets home, it will tear its owner to shreds! It will learn its lesson!
And Bernese Mountain Dogs are quite amusing in general. My relatives have one, and from my observations during walks, they all behave the same way when compared to randomly encountered dogs. It looks like this: a kind of foal runs across the grass and between the trees, and the owner/mistress struggles to keep up. Of course, they try to stop the dog, or at least slow it down, but no way, the dog is walking the owner, and not the other way around.
The neighbor's Bernese Mountain Dog actually couldn't knock down only one person I know – me, haha.
Ah, I want a dog...
