This poor Staffordshire Spaniel sat all alone guarding the contents of its vessel. Normally seen in pairs, these dogs have a long history that ranges from great protector of home and hearth to warning lover’s of whether a husband was home or at sea. Personally, I found it sweet and lonely sitting upon its ceramic Tchotchke on the table in the living space of our room at the hotel. I felt safer and happier just having it there.
