After my other dog passed. I felt very passionately that Saint needed a dog housemate. While they play and have fun, Saint has developed some behaviors he never did before and did not do with the previous dog. This is one of them, resource guarding. He wouldn't dare do that to my bully because my bully was... well... a bully and always wanted all the smoke. Magic is very "submissive" to Saint. Notice how she still does not move here, also not the best at listening. Now before all the dog trainers come at me, yes I know I shouldn't allow Saint on the couch, and it's only occasional like today I just needed some extra love and let him up, and he quickly reminded me why I can't allow him up. I kicked him off after this, but I wanted to record this to remind everyone who wants a dog for their other dog... your dog may not need it, or even want it. I'm just speaking for my dog and our experience since adding in a new dog, of course every household and dog is different.
