Lounges all day. Springs into action the moment a ball or a friend needs saving.
Often a Newfoundland, Bernese Mountain Dog or Norwegian Forest Cat, though every pet is its own animal.
The Lifeguard lounges all day and springs into action the moment a ball or a friend needs saving. Big, calm, brave, and social, with a switch that flips from asleep to airborne in one second.
Lies in the shade until something happens, then is there first.
Occupies the doorway, the sofa, or both.
The one everyone goes to. Patient with puppies, unbothered by cats.
