But this morning Larry looked far from ‘ok’ when police sniffer dog Bailey turned up on his doorstep.

That was pretty much how he reacted to Baraq trying to touch him.

I don’t think they have to worry. Muslims don’t poison cats.

As I said...

No, really, it seems like I’m always seeing big German Shepherds on the task.

It is. Especially when it’s on a kitten facing down a dog that outweighs it by 50-1. (Bonus points if the dog is being friendly and has no idea that it is supposed to be terrified.)

So cute. Some friendships start off on the wrong paw.

LOL, sometimes the first clue for the poor dog comes when the cat is suddenly riding his back.

True. Deimos started hissing at Janey (my late JRT). In three hours they were playing.
