My mother's family had a German Shepard when she was very young. The dog would protect my mother at all cost, her parents would literally leave her in a basket on the beach and go swimming. The dog sat next to her for hours on end if it had to, only moving to snarl at the occasional passer-by who got too close. As she grew up the dog would stay by her day in and day out, wait for her to get off the bus from school. One day when she was about 9 her mother looked out to see her in the yard playing tag. My Grandmother saw my mother run by, then her friend chasing her (both laughing) then she noticed the German Shepard in full attack mode crawling up behind the boy. My Grandmother new that this needed to stop so the dog was given to a farmer who lived off in the woods. Sad story but it really shows you the loyalties these dogs have.
