Dogs are one of the greatest gifts God has given us. In my humble opinion.

My Parson Russell Terrorist harrasses the kids when they're taking a bath. She won't leave them alone; I have to lock her out and even then she jumps against the door until it unlatches.

She doesn't particularly like water; it makes her nervous. She wants to be in the tub with the kids, tho. When she gets in, she just stands there and drinks water nervously...I finally figured out she's afraid they're DROWNING. She doesn't do this when I'm in the tub.

Silly terrorist.
 
I hope, for the sake of discussion, that it turns out the dog is a pitbull. ;)

The Mom needs to be spayed and the father should be given full custody.
 
My poochie has yet to save my life but she sure has made it more fun.
