All dogs have a favorite treat. Donner has at least five: going for a ride, going for a walk, going swimming, scratching his muzzle against people, and most of all, meeting and greeting dogs, all dogs, big and small, friendly and shy, etc. and etc. He truly never met a dog he did not like and never tires of meeting new ones. After four years of straining at the end of his chain to meet dogs in LA backyards, he honed his present practice of insisting that he greet every dog within 200 feet he sees.
Today he had the good fortune to meet Mowey (?), a big beautiful yellow Labrador retriever we ran into on the way to Donner’s morning “office” at Starbucks on the Waterfront. I did not get Mowey’s guardian’s name, but he is her first dog and so he has a formidable task ahead of him to make that sure she understands what her first obligation in life is. By the looks of it, it is clear she understands that already.
