Our male puppy loves our son and everyday cries when he isn't around. They are brothers and love to play outside together. I had originally gotten the dog for me and it seems like the dog likes my son better and I am the one who loves on him and takes care of him all of the time.
Well, the other day, my son wanted something from me. When he wants something, he gets all friendly and extra nice, starts rubbing my back and playing with my hair to soften me up. I picked up on this very quickly, so I decided to let him know how obvious he was being by reversing it on him and overdoing it by rubbing his back, playing with his hair, and telling him how great he is and how much I love him. He got what I as doing and was laughing a lot and pushing me away. During this, our male puppy started biting and growling at my son! I couldn't believe it. For some reason, he must have thought that my son was hurting or attacking me. Good puppy!
This really bothered my son, but totally made my month! Several times during the rest of the day, my son would walk into me and fall to the ground and then called the dog, as if I had pushed him, looking for the dog's defense against me. He also would lift my hand and hit himself with it and call the dog. Neither of those tactics worked. Today, we both bumped into each other and both called the dog on the other. He didn't come.
The moral of this story is you don't mess with mom. Everyone will/should protect the/their mom!
