Hooray for Graham!! What a hero! I know how wonderful that must have made you feel. I bet Cassie was just so proud of her big "brother" sticking up for her too! That is a wonderful story. When I had my poodles, my miniature (Ashley) was the ringleader over my standard (Whitney) even though she was about half the size. I think it was because Ashley was here first. Well, anyway I used to feel sorry for Whitney sometimes because she was always so affectionate to Ashley but Ashley was sort of aloof to Whitney. One day in the yard they had been romping around and Whitney let out a little yelp. She had twisted her leg. Ashley came running over full speed ahead to her side (with her tail pointing straight down with concern ) and then accompanied Whitney to the back door. My heart almost burst with happiness to see how she cared!
