The Peacemaker

Guinness loves everyone, even if they don't love him. Once in a while, we encounter a malicious dog. With such a dog, Guinness might bare his teeth and bark back. But the norm is that he remains quiet, subdued, and backs away if the other dog's body language indicates he does not want to be friendly. With that attitude after meeting the hostile dog a few times, the oppugner begins to soften his demeanor towards Guinness until they are friends. This has happened in recent months with Shamus, a Wheaten Terrier (Terror? ha!), and a 15 year old yellow lab, Ben.
