Alien Abduction

Most of us have been there. You’re perhaps 8 years old attending some family function. All your favorite cousins and aunts and uncles are there. And then there is that one relative. Perhaps it’s that friendly, out going bear of an uncle. Or your great-aunt you haven’t seen in well… maybe twice. They adore you and you love them but the prospect of seeing them is daunting. This well meaning family member who is at least twice your size cannot help but tousle your hair, pinch your cheeks and probably squish you in a hug tight enough to squeeze the stuffing out of you. You wish they’d just give you a little space or let you move at your own pace, right? Well, if this is you, there are a lot of dogs who might sympathize.


Most of us have seen a dog back or dance away when reached for or seen someone go to pick up a small dog or puppy only to have her stay just out of arm’s reach. If not with our own dogs, we’ve certainly seen it happen at the dog park or a friend’s house. Well that’s the dog is equivalent of the scenario described above. It can be very frustrating, especially if you and your pup must be on your way somewhere, but it’s usually no fun for the dog either.


Sometimes it’s simply a game. Dogs do, after all, love a good game of Chase-me. Most of the time, however, it’s simply a matter of the dog not wanting to be grabbed. Perhaps he has other things he wants to do, but more often than not we have made being reached for something less than fun.
