My dog , Frank , is an excellent guard dog and has a set of teeth that can snap a ham bone in half. My Grandson is one and pulls and grabs Franks ears and tail all day long. Last night he bit Frank. Frank just looks at me and takes it and never bites Johnny. Let a stranger come around though and you see teeth real fast. For his patience and love of my family I would like to nominate Frank as 2004 Dog of the year
