LOL, that was my Akita when grandma (mom) took him. Long story, couldn't keep him any longer. "Shalafi, I am NOT going to take that dog!" Well, she did. 130lbs. of black bear wandering around the house.

After hip surgery: "Oh Shalafi! He's just too big! He might knock me down!" Guess who got knocked down when I came home to visit. Beast knocked me flat while not laying so much as a whisker on her walker. Didn't so much as brush her walker with that monster tail. In a 8'x 8' entryway. That was something to witness. From the ground.

"Oh he just barks and barks when strange men come around the house! I don't know what to do with him!" Yeah, bet you hate having a dog with the lungs of a dragon going off at "strange men about the house". 🙄 Yoshi sounded like some Resident Evil shit going down on the other side of the door.

He did stress her out by plopping down on the freezing concrete patio and refusing to come in, even covered in snow. "Mom, they were raised in northern Japan to hunt bears. He's LOVING this!" LOL, did not compute for her.

And being an Akita, he was perfectly patient and loving with little ones. Slammed a bottle of gin and cried forever the night mom told me he was gone. Gods I got funny stories about that animal.

Bad news: this article was retracted for fraud after the journal discovered the author wasn't actually a dog.

Here's the full read

Just look at that data....

Now if only there was a way to negate the need for the bark defense... 😓

Jokes aside, one of the best deterrents to break-ins is a dangerous-seeming dog.

Wait, the dog doesn't like Matt? That's a huge red flag, Emily. Dogs know. Take it seriously.

99.999 recurring % lol

Time to go home, Matt U ಠ ಠU

not enough about barking!

100% effective dragon and vampire repellant too.

Where is the rest of the paper? I need the rest
