Occasionally, a couple of dogs would begin to fight and we would have to run over, yell at them at the top of our lungs and pull them apart. They were very loud, very energetic and ferocious. They were constantly trying to show their dominance over each other, showing their fangs, barking and growling like the spawn of Satan.

What really seemed to amaze me was that when you saw one acting out like that, all you had to do was walk over, call him by name and he immediately turned into a sweet little angel that wanted to lick you in the face or stick his nose in your butt.
