I am continually amazed at the dog-dog social skills my FMD Tina has - this is her deciding to ask for a turn at the chewie, persistently but gently asking, superbly gauging his muzzle flick in the middle, and waiting politely until he is ready for something different. The BC is just over a year old (she is 2-1/2) and has a history of some significant resource guarding behaviors that he is clearly working through beautifully. I love his rolling into her at the end and deciding she is a better 'chewie' than that cow hoof. Proof that given the chance, some dogs can be better teachers than us humans!
