Dogs are so loyal

Orson? Nothing. He loooooooooooves his food, make no mistake. But I have no doubt he'd go get his food and bring it right back to my vicinity and eat it, LOL.
My other dober boy in Arizona was the same. We lived about 20 miles from town, the nearest paved road was still more than 2 miles from us so our dogs came and went on the property as they pleased. They kept coyotes and other wild life away from the house. He loved his freedom, he loved to catch his rabbits and things, but if he knew it was time for me to be home from school or work he was right there at my side
I know Orson would be the same in that regard.
Phoebe? As long as we have kids at home, I know her loyalty is intact, LOL........if the kids all suddenly moved out? Ya, she'd pack up and find another family with kids in a heartbeat

Dekka might leave me for a rat.. but if I was leaving the other way she would follow. Kaiden wouldn't need a reason to leave other than a new human. New humans are the bestest. Kat would likely leave me for any critter, or food. Bounce I don't think would leave, can't think of anything she likes better than me...
Lol well if I let my dogs off leash and get annoyed with them not coming, I can simply walk the other way and sure enough once I get a certain distance away they come sprinting. "Noooo, don't leave me!" and the few times we've one outside they sit by the door very upset by the fact we forgot them. But I'm pretty sure that's not loyalty, they're just spoiled.
But I'm still thinking I may not get a backwards glance for her very own squirrel and an endless supply of kong squeaker tennis balls. :lol-sign:

without reading the whole thread,
nope. Milo wouldn't. You can see when I tell him not to do something he REALLY wants to, how badly he wants to do it, but he looks at me with this look like nothing in the world is worth upsetting me. He tries SO hard to do every thing I ask of him no matter what the consequences, and he loves nothing more than being with me...

Daisy is scared of other people, so I don't think she'd leave me for anything really, and she doesn't really want to play with other dogs as much these days since she's getting older. Well, Daisy *might* leave me for a Noludoru with food since she seems to really like Nolu for some reason.
Benji would leave for another lap, for chicken if he's hungry, and for a kitty or other critter to chase, or for a toy! Ooh and to kill other male dogs! lol
Opie would leave temporarily for food, but would need to know I was right there. And he would leave to play with other dogs, and eat cats.

There is a reason the Brazilians say "faithful as a Fila." Kharma's not going anywhere with anyone.
Bimmer has a terrific sense of Pack and I don't think he would leave for any reason either, not me or his grrrrls.
Tallulah still has abandonment issues and she's finally settled down to the idea that I'm not going to leave her anywhere, so I don't think she'd go. She doesn't even want to stay at my mom's if I'm leaving, even if mom has leftovers.

Mia would never leave me for another person. You can ask anyone that knows her, she's a mom's girl. As evidenced by the two times I've left her in the care of someone else, it does not go over well generally. Summer though... Summer seems to love everyone equally. Actually she seems the LEAST amount of affectionate with me. It's like... 'Oh it's just you again.' whereas everyone else is like 'Omg, hi human! My name is Summer and I love you!" I think it's just cause I'm special.
Her favoritest person ever is Josie.

I know Teagan would not leave me for anything. She is a ma'ma's girl and is very attached to me. She pretty much ignores other people and puts her full attention on me. Although she will leave my side if we are at the DP and there are lots of fun dogs to play with. Other than that she give people when they are trying to pet her the "dont touch me look" lol

Grimm might follow someone for a snack, but only if he could keep an eye on me at the same time. He's finally attached to me and boy is he ever!
Argon? Let's see, food, butt scratches, a place to nap, food, food, food, something to chase, food, my mother, food (anyone see a pattern here??)
The running joke in our family was that Radar would wander off with Jack the Ripper if he was offered a ride in a car.
