When I used to travel with our Mini Doxie "Trouble". She would be fast asleep as soon as I started moving. She was one of the best traveling Pups that I have ever had. If I pulled into a rest stop to catch a quick nap, she would sit up and stay awake until I started back up and got back on the road.
She did this each and every time I would stop and close my eyes. It was almost as if she was on guard duty. One time I was traveling in my car and stopped for a quick nap. Not sure how long I was sleeping but I awake to Trouble growling. There was a van parked next to me with some strange people walking around. This was the one and only time that she ever did this and for that matter never even barked when someone parked or walked past us. Needless to say, I wake wide awake and got back on the road and Trouble went right to sleep as normal. My Mom, whom I used to drive back and forth to Florida used to say that it was almost like she knew that it was her job to guard us when we stopped for a nap.
I have a rule that I live by. I may not like everyone that my Pup does but I make a point not to trust anyone that my Pups don't like.
