We had a pet dog named Apsi. She was a female Pug. She was a very sweet dog. The best dog I have seen.
My father made strict rules - No climbing the bed and sofa, She was also not allowed in the bedroom. She slept on her small bed in the outside room. She was very cute and welcomed all to our house. We took her out every day to meet other children in the colony. She was always very friendly with other children and everyone else also.
But due to some reasons, my father’s cousin took her to Delhi. There she used to sleep on the bed with uncle and also climb sofas. Sometimes uncle’s wife and children slept on the floor and Apsi slept in the bed with uncle. After 2-3 months she became very aggressive. She would only listen to uncle. she bit his son many times. She also bit his wife and doodhwala. Now She is like a T-rex. She barks at everyone. Uncle becomes happy when he sees her barking and says that earlier she was very fearful and now she can defend the house. People like aggressive dogs and think that quiet ones are useless and I think this is wrong opinion.
These are the two personalities of the same dog. May father says that we need to treat a dog like a dog and not like a human. In dog world the Alfa dog sits on high ground. So when the dog sleeps on the bed with us it starts to think that it is the leader of the house. So it treats others badly. Its personality can change with the situations in the house or according to the way we treat a dog.
