Hey Mark-
Our German Shepherd dog Kenai is a wonderful dog. She is 5 years old, fully trained, and she goes with us everywhere. We taught her at an early day to stay inside the truck and "Guard" even with all the windows opened, and sometimes even the tailgate. Today, as usual she went with us to the feed store. We had all the windows open and she was inside. She will not bark, she does not snap at other dogs or people, and she will put her head outside the window and watch others, but she is not aggressive.
I was coming back to the truck with supplies when to my amazement I saw a women reach INTO the truck to pet Kenai who was watching her intently and growling! I yelled at the woman and asked her what she was doing and she said she "wanted to pet the nice doggy!" Had she put her hand inside the truck, she would have been bit, because that is Kenai's truck and she guards it. If that had happened, would we have been liable for that dog bite? And what kind of idiot would try and pet a strange dog anyway?
