Oh yes, ...... his name was SOCKS and he was a Japanese Akita, who never had a care in the world and made you stride over him if you wanted to walk out the room door...... just like my previous dog Jodie who was a Doberman cross, took in for 6 weeks and ended up with her for nigh on 14 YEARS !!!! did exactly the same and also tried to hide in the bath when worried !!! First time without a dog in 25 years !! :-\
