We have two dogs, a rottie (Brutus) and a husky/pit/German shepherd mix (Mila). If I’m petting Mila and Brutus is awake and around, he will put himself between us and take the pets, even if he doesn’t want them. She could be in my lap, and he will shove his fat face right between us and make the space. He doesn’t really do the same thing with my wife at all. He’s a bit of a jelly boy.
