Ever Vigilant

"Pickin' stones and pullin' teats is a hard way to make a living. But, sure as God's got sandals, it beats fightin' dudes with treasure trails."

"We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been quite possibly, bamboozled."

If a fellow wanted to do away with a hand all he would need to do it put it on that door handle I'm sure.

A buddy of mine had a blue heeler that would not leave his truck unless they were home. He left a window open for her and locked the truck. God help anyone other than him who stuck their hand through that window. She wouldn't bark a lick, just stared at you waiting to pounce.

I guess he is not worried about the paint.

The US Army Signal Corps creed was "Pro Patri Vigilant".

A gun in the hand is worth more than ten policemen on the phone.
The American Revolution was carried out by a group of gun toting religious zealots.

It looks like a Mastiff on the truck. It is easy to not understand them. They can be very gentle (I used them for search and rescue work) but there is a line you don't cross; and their response is very, very quick.

Judging from the looks of the rest of the truck, probably not.

Looks like an Anatolian shepherd or Kangal
I got one, although mine does not get on the roof of my care but he does appreciate a nice look out spot.

Either vigilant, or that darn cat is pissed at the dog again.

when I was growing up, there was an old black gentleman that drove with his dog on the roof of his car all the time. Never saw him going over about 15 miles an hour.

Here they write tickets for that now, pets are required to be tethered on a short leash so that it's impossible for them to fall or jump out.

She rides in the passenger seat, rather than on the roof, and does not suffer anyone even getting close to my truck.
