He Has His Own Method
Dogs have a funny way of greeting everyone the same—whether you're a friend, a stranger, or the pizza delivery guy. They don’t discriminate. Tails wag, paws jump, and hearts melt as they rush to greet you like you’ve been gone for a decade, even if it’s only been 10 minutes. It’s sweet, but it does make you wonder… would they do the same for an intruder?
That’s exactly what this cartoonist plays on. The dog may be everyone’s best friend, but he is still a creature of habit. He stops you in your tracks the moment you enter—if only out of excitement. So, if someone unwanted walks in, maybe that tail-wagging moment could still serve as a natural alarm system. Maybe dogs don’t need to be fierce to be effective; sometimes, a jumpy welcome is all the warning you need.
