Alliance Aggression?
Baxter has never, despite being attacked almost daily at the park, responded with even an ounce of aggression. At home in a thousand scenarios he has never been aggressive or expressed even a twinge of negative energy. Not ever. Not once. But today a little frenchie who is known for being quite the Alpha at the daycare came running up and literally jumped into my lap. The reaction from Baxter was crazy! He totally went after the frenchie and viciously growled and barked and lunged (no biting). Warning him to get away from his owner. I was shocked in a bad way, but the daycare girl said "See. He's starting to bond with you. That is so neat!". I guess I had to force myself to view it that way. Maybe Baxter thought I was being attacked and he was defending me. Gosh. I felt so close to him the rest of the day. Up until now Baxter really hasn't done anything to indicate he knows I exist, outside of "cohabitating" with me and accepting numerous belly rubs. In a twisted way, this felt really special to me.
Is it something I should be concerned about?
