Last night Truck crossed the line. The boy was over and he was lying down in a spot Truck usually occupies. Truck jumped on top off the boy, pinning him down. Truck was not being malicious; if he wanted he could have bitten the boy before I pulled him off. Truck was telling him that is my spot. It scared both me and the boy.

This morning I called the dog trainer. Truck is going through Alpha dog training starting tonight. It is a program that guard dogs go through before they go through the guard dog training. It is to teach Truck he is not a human, when it is over I will be able to take anywhere. I know this is the best thing I can do for him, but I can’t stop crying. I love Truck, I hate being without him. I also feel very guilty. Truck is the way he is because I have allowed him to run me.
