I have never trained my dog, ever. Still, Bruno is smart enough to amaze me every time I am with him. It seems like he had taken some combat training even before he was born. I often hide his toys, but he finds them, every time without any hint from my side. He can find, as well as hide, my things as well. I often lose my stuff at home, and whenever I am frantically searching for them, Bruno brings them to me. I don’t know how he does it, but he knows what I want at what time, and he brings the thing right in front of me.
His schedule
I was too careless to get him trained from a professional trainer, so I did the best of it on my own. Now whenever I tell Bruno that its bedtime, he would quickly go to my son’s room, and lie down on his bed. This Labrador is actually a caring creature. He would look at each member of my family with affection in his eyes every night as if he wants to thank us. During the entire day, I ask him to get ready for meals, and he starts jumping every time.
The walk
He has been to many trips with me. I have lived in many cities in India, and taken him almost everywhere with me. At home or wherever I am, whenever he feels like going for a run, he would bring his leash to me, and ask me to take him out. I am happy to do it for him most of the times, even if I am tired. However, whenever I don’t feel like going out of the house, he would never force me for it, and sit near me. He is happy to just lie down by my side and have a quiet time.
Possessive
Bruno is very possessive about his family, and would never let anyone come near us, especially my younger daughter who is five years of age. He is highly protective when it comes to caring about her. We were at someone’s house once, and my friend wanted to carry Naina in her arms. She went near my daughter and asked her to jump in her arms. However, Bruno jumped between them faster than Naina, and looked angrily at my friend. Although he loves my friend as well, he did not want her to touch my little daughter. It gave a clear message that no one can harm Naina if Bruno is there.
The reasoned barking
It happens many times that Bruno barks at nothing, or at least I think so. However, it is never the meaningless bark; he has a reason for it every time. I just need to say, “Show it Bruno”, and he would lead me to the place that makes him bark. Mind you, I never taught him this thing. I had hired a Car Rental Bangalore once to go for a trip to the hills. As I was talking to the car delivery guy, Bruno started barking at the car. We both could not understand what was wrong with Bruno. I asked my baby to show me what had happened, and he led to the rear wheel of the car and started looking under it. There was a rat stuck in the back side of the car, and was crying for help. It would have died had I driven the car. I could not help but feel grateful to Bruno for detecting what none of us could see at that moment.
