By far my best dog ever was Tessa. A mix of lab and flat coat and the dad was a Finnish spits. She fucking ruled our family with her attitude. She realized I was pregnant every time sooner than I did, she protected me in ways bigger dogs never could've, she bit a man in the ass twice for breaking in to my condo.
If I was out with the kids, she got mad because she thought it was her responsibility to draw the lines. Kids swimming was okay, I'd I was in the water too. If not, she made sure I'd go to the water.
She obeyed nobody. Not even me and she had a police dogs training. She just looks at a person telling her what to do and with her eyes she told them to fuck off. But if I looks at her, she took her place at my heel and gave me this look. "fine mom you're a bitch, let's go and kick some ass".
I miss my dog.

Oh, I've had many other breeds over the years...Doberman, Irish Wolfhound, Border Collies for the farm, Golden Retrievers, 1 Bull Mastiff....but we've always had Labs in the mix...
