Would your dog protect you?

[RobiLee]

I voted "not sure". I am 100% certain that Tori wouldn't. I don't have a clue if Katie would or not. I would like to think she would. I think if we were outside and someone came up to me in a menacing way that she would be protective. I have always wondered what she would do if someone came into the house without my knowledge. I really think she would just wiggle and waggle all over them and be wooing the whole time...lol. Now, if Katie were to be protective and attack someone, Tori might help out her big sister. I hope I never have to find out. Just having Katie is enough protection though. People are scared when they see her and sometimes of Tori also.

Prince of course won't actually protect me but he will still be barking his head off! Astra I highly doubt will protect me. 1. She is shy of strangers 2. She is only rough when she plays with Molly. Sadly I don't think she will be a very good protecter. Molly on the other hand she will most likely protect me. When I am playing with my brothers she sometimes starts to bark and growl because she thinks they are hurting me. but who knows maybe astra will be a good protecter if she actually sences I am in danger!

I voted yes, Buffy a chihuahua, would surely knaw their ankles right off their legs! Yeah, yeah, funny site,I know, but her fur raises on the back of her neck when somebody comes in. If she was the size of a Doberman, people beware! She especially doesn't like anybody close to me!! Little dog, lots of courage!

Tiger would protect me with all his might. I know when I was little and I used to get sick and my mom would bring me medicine he would like growl and bark and make sure nobody got around me. He is soo little, but he would protect me the best he could.

Buster and Muffin would protect me. When my friends come over and we play fight he gets mad at them and trys to attack them.

I want to think Ziggy would, but I'm not totally sure about that one. She might lick them and get her toy.

I would have no help from CoCo.. He would run the other way as quick as possible. lol

Very cute thread.

Murph would only protect me if I was being attacked by Killer Rabbits or some such other rodenty-type.

Doubtful that Oz or Gull would ever attack anybody to protect me. Being Collies they seem to have more of an instinct to come and announce to me that there's danger and then expect me to take it from there. It's apparently my job to make sure everything's okay.

They've never shown any inclination to actually bite somebody. But then I've never been attacked, so who knows. Hopefully this is something I never have to find out for sure.

They're awfully good bluffers though. They can generate enough racket to scare away most people I think. If the person said "Boo" to them though, they'd probably run get behind me.
