My parents had a dog, Gentle Ben the yellow lab, that was scared of the cat. The cat's name was S$#thead. He would lay down across the little hall to the kitchen and if Ben tried to step over him he would reach up and smack poor Ben in the gonads.

Of course Ben got beat up by a pheasant once ... and couldn't swim ... and got his head stuck in the cookie jar ...

He certainly earned the name Gentle Ben.
