My Two Dogs

There are two dogs in me; one that is friendly, compassionate and righteous (or tries to be righteous) and another that is aggressive, impatient and snarls. The former is like a Saint Bernard and the latter a Rottweiler.

St Bernards are known to be gentle, family dogs that are fond of children and used in rescue operations to search for people in distress. Rottweilers on the other hand are known for their aggression and fierce looks and used to ward off enemies and guard herds.

Both are huge and high maintenance dogs. Of the two, which is the more loyal and better breed? It all depends on the owner. The St Bernard is prone to anxiety and if left neglected for long periods of time can also become destructive. Because of its size and weight, it is susceptible to bone deterioration if it does not get enough proper food and exercise. The Rottweiler as we all know, can turn into a ferocious animal if left in the care of an owner incapable of understanding and training it. Only by devoting time and effort can its guarding and protective instincts be controlled and prevented from turning into violence.

A good dog is not necessarily good and a bad dog is not necessarily bad. Take good care of both.
