There are some who remind us of the virtue of restraint.
I am not sure if this is the world’s calmest dog or the world’s bravest chick — or both. I will go with both.

I have a St. Bernard; this is not unusual behavior. The dog is probably trying to figure out what the little yellow thing is. They are the calmest dogs in general, although there can be exceptions. It’s a great photo.
Alan:
The propensity of a particular breed for violent behavior has been part of the common law for centuries. Restatement (Second) of Torts, ยง 509 has memorialized the common law as follows:
“(1) A possessor of a domestic animal that he knows or has reason to know has dangerous propensities abnormal to its class, is subject to liability for harm done by the animal to another, although he has exercised the utmost care to prevent it from doing the harm.
“(2) This liability is limited to harm that results from the abnormally dangerous propensity of which the possessor knows or has reason to know.”
Some commentators have said liability based upon known dangerous propensities of the breed or the individual animal goes back to Mosaic law, Solon’s laws of Athens, and the Roman Institutes of Justinian.
Interesting opinion just released today, Nutt v. Florio, Mass Appeals Court: a landlord could be held liable for a bite from tenant’s pit bull because a pit bull is now recognized by law as a breed “commonly known to be aggressive.” The opinion can be found at http://www.massreports.com/slipops/redirect.aspx?location=appealsopinions

I cannot help wondering what Aesop would have done with this photo as a sequel.
A Dog and a Chick
That could be said about some human couples…
This may be an egg-suckin’ dog.
You be Barnyard dawg and I’ll be Fog Horn Leg Horn.
Professor,
Would the Dram Shop apply to this bear in the beer cooler?

They are indeed an inspiration considering the things that go through my mind. I was just told not to act on the voices. Just say no. Ok, Nancy, I hear you.
The above was meant only for humor or maybe not.
My wife and I look forward to your weekend animal photo. I don’t know where you find these, but, they are a great break. This one is a real keeper!
