Dogs are pack animals. My dog Bo, Golden, wants to meet every dog he sees. We sometimes take him to doggy day care where he is put in a large yard with 30 dogs of all breeds. After a little sniffing and barking they get along just fine. Bo likes to hang out with little dogs. To see a 90 pound Golden hanging with a three pound, whatever it is called, is a real stitch.
When I walk Bo in the morning we go out early. Not a lot of dogs to meet at 6AM in the dark. But when we do encounter another dog on a leash, we are usually invited to sniff. Invariable the other dog owner introduces his or her dog and I respond by saying, "This is Bo." We never introduce ourselves and we never sniff each other. Bo is a pack animal. What am I?
