I'm shocked (no pun intended) that that guy was able to withstand so many tasers. I've never been tased, and am appreciative of that fact, but I've heard that it takes you down instantly.

I think it speaks loads for a dog's temperment when they can do this job and still be trusting of people

I think it was more like a 40-50 pound dog. Rumor is that he either lost his arm, or lost most use of it in prison as a result of the bite.

Trust has nothing to do with it. These dogs like the combat, in fact they live for it.

I'm a nut, so if I see a police dog thats not working where the officer/handler doesn't seem busy, I'll ask to pet the dog. All of the ones that I've encountered have been ok with petting (of course!) but seemed to be pretty impartial and reserved about it, like they could take it or leave it; I imagine with their family it is a different story. The dog I was talking about, Pago, he was a ham, dropping his toy at my feet, standing next to me and then leaning in for rubs and pets, this is not something that I would have expected right "off the bat" from most of the other police K9's that I have met. I kind of get the impression that the other dogs may have been, "analyzing" me or "sizing me up" and on guard, kind of. The take the affection, and thats about it.
Does that make sense?
