but my tail says Yes. This fellow was patrolling his yard when I happened by. When I asked him if I could take his picture he was clearly ambivalent. On the one hand his bark was deep and authoritative. On the other, his tail was twirling like a helicopter propeller. I decided that his final answer was "Yes."
He does look like he is more bark than bite...though not a good idea to test the theory without the owner being close by. I wish animals could talk...oh, the stories they could tell!
