Defender of the Homestead

Finnegan vs. Dolphin
Elkridge, MD
June 25, 2019

Finnegan is our Yorkie. He is smallish at about 5 pounds, but he thinks he is as big as Chewbacca. 

Least evening he defended the homestead from the attack of the pool cleaner. We call it a dolphin. 

The dolphin was doing its job and Finnegan was having no part of it. Seeing the dolphin as the Creature from the Black Lagoon, he dutifully barked at it each time it surfaced to ensure that it remained in the pool and did not try to attack the home. He was very energetic and persistent in his task.

Chris and I finally had to take him inside to restore peace to the neighborhood and allow the dolphin to complete its task in silence.

It is nice to have such a persistent and animated protector around, but in reality I wonder who would win during a direct confrontation?
