Back a few years ago when my grandson was just a couple of years old, he would come to visit me and "pa". We had 2 rotties at the time, brother and sister named KC and Bear.
I remember my grandson trying to pat the dogs and play with them. KC would have none of Larz as he was a typical little kid and she didn't like having her whiskers pulled or ears touched and what not, so she pretty much stayed away from him.
Bear on the other hand was just a blockhead of a rottie and he loved any attention he could get from anybody. At the time, Larz was as tall as Bear's back was. Larz would grab Bear by the collar and try to lead him around. Truth be known, Bear was the one doing the leading LOL. The two of them would almost fly through the house....Bear running and Larz doing his best to keep up with him and would never ever let go of Bears' collar.
The neatest thing about this little relationship between Larz and the 2 dogs was this. Even though KC didn't want anything to do with Larz, if she for one minute thought that Bear was being too rough with they tyke, she would run up to Bear and bite him square in the butt to get him to stop! It was a riot to watch.
Not to worry....no children or animals were hurt during their playtime.....but it was awful funny to watch the dogs put Larz down and put their paws on him to stop him from bugging them too

Oh and these 2 rotties thought they were lap dogs...I can't count how many bruises I had on my legs from them and their "elbows" sticking into my legs...lol Boy how I miss them now
