Oh, and heaven help the poor fool who should happen to walk past his house without permission.
And it doesn’t matter if he inside or out.
He lets them know in very clear and no uncertain terms, that that is NOT Acceptable!
Very good dog! He loves his job.
Personally, I can’t envision a purse puppy or a chihuahua bounding across a farmyard and enjoying the freedom......
My brother’s dog, that I am pup sitting with right now, is a great watch dog. She laid under the bed and watched my brother’s house get robbed.
He came home, found the door kicked in and thought Freckles had gotten out and run away.
About an hour later she came crawling out from under the bed..... but she saw the whole thing! :)
Could she ID the perps? :-)
My dog loved chasing cars. After 7 years it killed him but he loved it.
She wouldn’t say. :)
Was a well loved dog by family, all the delivery people & vets. He started out as a house dog which didn't work but thrived when he became the farm dog.
Our russell/beagle looks just like your dog except one more brown spot aft.

It’s a dirty job...but somebody has to do it. :)
I don`t like couch dogs any more than couch potatoes.
Brave little sweetheart!
“tummy rubs and fetch”
That reminds me of the article where the dog says “my favorite” about everything.
Can’t seem to find it right now.
Just because we can't tell doesn't mean it is or isn't. We can't tell if a dog has a migraine, or if they are so allergic to something inside or outside the house that their sinuses constantly bother them. I have always wondered how many pets go through things we humans would find intolerable.
My dog has all the romping area she wants in the country. All she really wants to do is hang around people and heads for the house in a beeline if anyone moves in any kind of direction toward it. FWIW, she’s a purebred golden retriever.
Oh I think animals are definitely tougher than humans, but I do think animals can feel depression. To what degree, I don’t know.
Did you see this recent story about this goat that was depressed when he was separated from his love?:

I have an Akita. They do not come on command. He loves his 2 one-hour hikes, on a leash.
He weighs over 100 pounds and spends 60% of his time asleep or just sitting and watching the world go by. He will spend 10-20 minutes running around his large enclosed pen and playing with his toys. He loves fetch, for about 15 minutes at a time. Every once in a while, he takes a quick 15-20 minute run after a bunny and is just as happy as can be to come home and lounge some more.
That’s a good one!
The only difference between my farm dog and jay carney is horse poop Goes into up in my dogs mouth, but comes out of jay commie’s
There is a dog living in every house on both sides of my alley, when someone walks down it. the dogs start announcing stranger about.
:-). Good doggies! Gotta secure their perimeter.
Yappy lap dogs are of no use.
