I agree with Borzoimom! Yes the human is always the top dog, but there is still a heirarchy to the dogs! They have to have order just like we do. no matter how delusioned you are dogs always have a heirarchy, there is always a top dog! One will always be at the top of the order. It is the way they are, going back to the wolves. There is no getting around this, it is instinct.
