How many PON owners have noticed PON
sensitivity to their moods ? This can be best
demonstrated by asking owners to watch a variety of
films which include tear jerkers, horror and comedies.
Research has revealed that canines can smell fear among
humans and react to it according to the characteristics
of individual breed genetics. As herding dogs, PONS tend
to be protective of their flock and thus will attempt to
exhibit protective behavior by offering their paws and
snuggling close while owners view mood changing films on
TV. This has often happen to me while watching Law and
Order and other programs with plots about serial killers
and criminals. While reacting to these programs, I found
myself being comforted by my PONS who snuggled up to me
and tried to make me feel better. It worked well !
PONS are closely attuned to their owner's moods and this
will influence their behavior in many ways.
It is well
known that PONS
are completely devoted to their owners and portray the
classic image of the ultimate faithful canine
companion. They put their owners on a pedestal and the
love and respect they have for their “leader” cannot be
denied. They are very ‘tuned in’ to people and body
language, and are ‘people watchers’ extraordinaire from
a surprisingly young age. Most PON puppies arrive at
their new homes at around three months and they will
already have learned the lessons their mother gave them
on “How to cope with humans” and these young innocents
are more than capable of dealing with our ever changing
moods. This built-in herding behavior determines their
life with their human counterparts for many years to
come.
It isn't possible to
stay sad or afraid with PONS in your household. They are
natural therapists and protectors who have one main goal
in life and this is complete devotion to their human
families. We need to honor them by making sure we offer
them the best possible nutrition, and remain updated on
current canine health research. A happy PON equals a
happy human household. |
