1. I always found it fascinating how some dogs have absolutely no fear of people...

even if perhaps they should. No watchdog instincts... just assume any person remotely close can be beckoned to come and pat them and rub their belly. That's my girlie dog now (border collie/Aussie cross) that I adopted at about six months of age. All my other dogs would be stand-offish at times when an unknown person surprised them. Not her. She is delighted.

So much for dog-protection...LOL

2. I had to train my Golden to bark at the door when someone was outside.

there are situational reasons I needed a heads up when someone was coming down the driveway. He did an excellent alert job.

OTOH, the first time he met one particular woman friend of ours, he fell in love with her in a nanosecond, and had a much different bark when she showed up.
Now that he has passed on.... ....one of my cats gives me a heads up, by running to the door to see who it is. I swear he picked that up from the dog.

3. I think they must mean "Be Aware of the Dog" because they are so cute.
