Is your pet protective of you?

[IRescue452]

Autumn used to be protective of me, but she's figured out I'm dominant and no longer offers her service to me. She's protective of my mom and the kids though.

Murph not at all. Oz and Gull I would classify more as watchers and announcers, not really protective. They let me know something's up, but expect me to take care of it. Whenever I go investigate, they're both always following behind me, covering my rear flank.

Course I dunno if someone actually attacked me, they might surprise me and jump into the fray, to protect me.

Tango can be very protective of me someyimes but she's gettig better with that. The Dobermans aren't really protective of me specifically, but they're extremely protective of my family.

[Chilli]

Yes and No for me.
Marley probably couldn't be protective if he tried!
Mel and Khaith just aren't....
Frisk is... if you just try to give me a hug, he'll start growling and running toward you (he doesn't bite, though).
And Ethan is protective of Frisk!

zoey is, I remeber on vacation my ex boyfreind was there and he went to hug me and zoey stood right between us and started growling. now we are broke up. If he has a problem with my zoey then he and me are over

then also one time I was taking a walk on the road with zoey and there was a weird guy approching me and he came up to me weird and I didn't know if he was going to do anything because before he could say anything zoey started growling and barking at him, so I guess there is a advantages there.

I voted yes and no.

Micki is very protective of me, to the point at attaking people and other dogs, but has gotten tons better. Mini and Jack really aren't, Kyra can be a bit protective of my mom, if she tries to hug somebody or something she will start growling.

Shadow is definately protective over the family, I trust her the most to protect me if I needed it. For example, it was summer vacation years back (I'm talking 5-6 years ago) and my parents were gone at work and all of us kids were in the living room. My Aunt came in, she didn't knock or anything and started to come towards the living room, Shadow would not let her near us and was snarling and growling, something she had never done before. As soon as we realized what was happening we told Shadow it was alright and that was that, she even knew my Aunt, its not like she had never seen her before.

I see a few of yous have voted yes & no, how come I can only vote once?

My dog is quite protective of me,and vice versa. He'll protect me against people, dogs, etc., but if one of the cats gets mad at him he come tearing towards me, expecting me to return the favor . And there are certain people he tolerates because he knows they aren't a threat to me, but they still scare him, so I always try to make sure during times like those he knows I'm looking out for him, too.

Nanook is just like your Murph, Kaige & Raustyk are just like your Oz & Gull.

I think that at least Raustyk & Kaige would actually jump in if someone were to attack me or hurt me.
