With one exception, every good dog I've ever had I either got at a pound or humane society, or I picked up on the side of the road. The one exception was a red & white kocker spaniel we got in 1944, when I was 4 & so was she. We finally had to have her put down in '58--cancer. She was a great pet & a great watchdog/guard dog. My grandmother was partly deaf & nearly blind in her last years. When the phone rang & my grandmother was the only one home, the dog would sit under the phone & bark to let her know it was ringing. If someone came to the door, the dog would go to the door & bark to let her know. If it was a stranger the dog would put herself between my grandmother & the stranger.
One night about 1948 we had a peeping tom. We had a little short paling fence around the back yard & the dog never tried to dig under it or jump it, though she could have easily. When she spotted that peeper she knocked 3 palings out of the fence & went for him. We don't know how far she chased him, but when she came back to the front door--where Dad was standing with his shotgun--she had blood on her mouth & it wasn't hers. Dad went to the butcher the next day & brought home a whole sack of bones for Taffy. These days they've ruined kockers. They used to be hunting dogs. Now all they can do is pee on the rug. (if you spell it correctly it comes up censored.)
