I am the big dog around here.  My mommy keeps getting me more sisters though.  I'm not so sure I like it, but I keep them in line.  I'm a good dog that makes sure my mommy stays safe.  I bark at people passing so she's knows someone is there. I follow her wherever she goes.  If someone is over I don't know, I stay by her side until I know I can trust them.  Sometimes she lets me go in the front yard with her with no leash because she knows I'll stay right by her, but she only seems to do this when there aren't people outside.  I'm kind of big, and I am protective, so sometimes I may scare people even though I'm one of the most loving dog ever.  I just don't want those other people across the street to hurt my mommy so I want to let them know I'm in charge, that's all.  I'm just looking out for her best interests.
