SL,
Skidboot is obviously a mutt. My favorite kind of dog.

This is not the only video I've seen of Skidboot. What I find instructive is that his companion, David, is a man of a kind heart and animals respond to him for that reason.
Is it possible that people pay lots of money for dogs to compensate for their lack of touch, or acumen, or feel, or something else they lack when it comes to handling animals?
