Aweeee how cute. I remember our neighbours Jack Russell that I spent most days with when I was a kid. I remember one day when we were up the bush and the dog attacked an echidna, little bugger was going hell for leather at this thing he had blood all over his mouth and was growling. I ran home nearly in tears because I thought the dog wasn't going to make it, I went into the neighbour and told him what his dog was doing and he whistled twice for the dog, called his name and a few minutes later the dog walked up. He was still a little bloody but the neighbour checked him over and he was okay. The neighbour then turned to me and told me that the dog may as well be mine because after all the time I'd spent with him over the years the dog obviously thought of me as his master and he was protecting me. I obviously wasn't in any threat by the echidna but the dog thought so and multiple times after that day the little dog did the same thing with snakes and possums when the two of us were together.
Man's best friend be fucked, that dog was a kids best friend.
