a dog is a mans best friend, no lie i have a 3 year old beagle friendly as all hell but when it comes to food look out!! everytime i eat a snack// eg.. chicken most of the time watch out! i will be in the family room enjoying if anyone comes near me while im eating he will growl and then chase you out of the room. he knows whats left is his and dont mess with it. what a companion! cats suck ass
