But he would give up his life defending his owner without a second thought.

I'm not sure about dying for the Duck, but most dogs have some degree of faithfulness and protective character, but Bruiser did it differently.
He'd even bite his owner if Bruiser thought he'd done it wrong.

Yep Bruiser would bite his owner without causing any damage, the only way a dog can express his displeasure, no different to parents disciplining their kids but the same parents would fight to the death to protect them ( their kids that is). not being nasty here but that is called LOVE.

I had a red healer very similar. He was as tough as nails and had scars everywhere from his many battles. His only fault was he was too smart for his own good , and sometimes it was a question who was playing with whom.He killed and ate a death adder, besides many possums, andother delectable things. survived to 14 and a half, and I still miss him.

I've had my border collie dog "ben" for 8 years now,
for along time I was worried he would run off if he got off his lead, which he did one day when I first got him, 8 years on I had a fall walking across the road, I just missed a gutter or step and took a tumble..
I lost my glasses and did some damage to myself and was having trouble getting up,
to my surprise , Ben stayed right by my side, a guy came up and asked if i was ok and ben kinda groweld a little and stood right there, not leaving me, I was so proud of my best friend, even when he drives me nuts some times, I love him,..

Granny, I suspect, we all have a dog story. Your story reminded me of "Hassle", tough as steel, smart, independent, and would pull away from any affection, bush dog. Blue healer sort of, but definately 'best of the street'
You were 'in' or 'out' with Hassle. We were friends, as his owner is a best mate.

I thought the story may provide a little light relief.
It's an excerpt from my book, "Love From The Wild".

I'm not related to any of the above. I'm the first in my line. - unique.
My books aren't yet published. That's the hardest part of writing.
The writing is easy, the publishing is another thing altogether. Still working on that.

Granny it brought a tear to my eye. We lost our great mate a beautiful Staffy last year and still miss him like hell. Your story encompassed everything about a faithful or working dog. Thanks for bringing back to the front of my mind some memories of our lost mate.
