Arrow and Jack.
Mar. 23rd, 2013 09:06 pmWhen we went to visit my parents earlier this month, my sister brought her dog over so he could meet Arrow. She was hoping that Arrow would help Jack learn how to play like a dog. Jack was adopted as an adult, and best guess is that he was not properly socialized as a puppy.
Overall things went really well. Arrow, of course, instantly went into play mode. Jack was a little put off at first, but when he got firm with Arrow, Arrow backed off (Jack had the advantage of age, if not size). After a few minutes of sitting near me and looking pathetic, Arrow perked up and tried to play again. This time Jack took to the idea (probably because he now knew he could shut the whippersnapper down if necessary).
