If your dog digs you out of the snow and rolls you over and then barks at you then it is doing so just because you are the hand that feeds it. Human emtional attachment to animals is largely a one-way street I think. When I was a child our dog absolutely loved one neighbour and hated the other . . . turned out one of them was feeding him chocolate biscuits! Guess which neighbour the dog 'loved'?
