Bobbo - that puppy would still be doing that to her today! My dad's akitas loved to climb up my mom to see out the living room window... One offered to trade his favorite toy for my sibling's baby.
I took in one my dad rescued (only animal he ever took in like that). Bear-dog was 3 yrs old and had never been outside his kennel in the prior owner's backyard. Taking him for a walk was like Ferdinand the Bull - this massive dog stopping to smell every flower he came across. He was very friendly but shy.
He loved my dad dearly. Once my dad stopped by to drop something off and came in to use the bathroom. He w as in a hurry and went back out and drove away. The akita sat by the door for 6 hours waiting for him to come back in to say hello to him. My dad never did that again. And I still have the Christmas photo of him and his sister Dog with Santa. He loved that huge stuffed toy the moment he saw it. Then, it spoke and Bear-dog realized there was a MAN in that stuffed toy! The photo shows Bear-dog trying to get as far away from Santa as possible, Santa leaning over trying to keep hold of Bear-dog, and Dog being pulled along.
