Ever since we first introduced Gideon to our home, he and our 1 year old pyr mix have been very drawn to one another. It may be in large part because of her large plumage of a tail that he so longs to pounce on, but Ahri, being a "livestock guardian" type of dog, is always enamored by other animals and wants nothing more than to befriend them. Being around 90lbs and still a lot of puppy, it's taken a lot of self control on her part to figure out how to interact with Gideon without being too overwhelming. She's learned quickly she can't play chase with him or paw at him like he does to her, but we've recently had some breakthroughs as they're finally figuring out how to interact and play despite the language and size barriers, as illustrated in the video!
As the video also shows, our greyhounds are still not super sure or keen on Gideon, though they are both older and have no qualms with him so long as they can sleep undisturbed (one of the main reasons Gideon must still be confined to his safe-room when we aren't home, as there is no guaranteeing he'd agree to this type of bargain!). We expected this to be the case though, so we hope that he and Ahri can provide each other with more than enough entertainment.
So far so good!
