Given he's already said he can't locate and dogs, we can only speculate; I'm sure Doc would ferociously defend his Dad from any occupation or incursion by dogs. Especially if brown dogs.

He was pretty nice to my cat, though she was mean to him. She stop in front of his cage to his if he climbed to the bottom of his recreational thing-ee when she walked by. If that made sence... Really though, he's pretty sweet - for a bird. Maybe a little more shy than you might expect, and -of course- he likes to be center stage sometimes too, which is kinda cute right there. I particulaly remember how well he could, and still can do our friend Liz's laugh. She has a marvolious laugh too. And it would make her laugh, which would encourgage him. Hehehehe.
