I moved into my new Berkeley apartment and have all kinds of workers over- the Dish guy, the handyman, the landlord- and every single time they come to the door- the girls stay passed out in their beds and old man Benjamin gets up and fiercely barks and comes to the door.\u00a0 His body is creeky and slow, but his intention is strong-\u00a0 he still has his purpose – protect the pack at all costs.\u00a0 He’ll do it till the day he dies I have no doubt.\u00a0 he will alert me and keep me safe.\u00a0 It’s a Rottweiler thing- bred for herding and guarding the flock.\u00a0 I am the Shepherd and he is the guard.<\/p>\n
