Cody, my family dog, has a strange trick. Like all our dogs, he is taught to get in between me and an "attacker". This is not a violent thing, he just sort of gets in the way of someone hitting me.

Anyway . . . If I put a pillow on my head and hit at it and cry, Cody will come running and pull the pillow off my head. After that, of course, he wants to eat the pillow, but we won't let him. I'm not sure how I figured out this "trick". I must have been a really bored kid.
