Anyone know why male dogs would have a special sort of attraction for me? I know it sounds funny, but it's actually a serious question. Ever since childhood, any male dogs I am around become viciously protective of me, follow me around and sometimes try to hump me. (even the fixed ones)

My grandmother had a dachshund who would stand at my crib and growl at people who got too close. Seems okay. Kinda cute that he'd protect the baby, though he never did that for me little bro.

We had a bichon frise when I was growing up who sat on top of me when I slept and barked/growled at anyone who entered my room.

My friend's dog did the same thing and even bit her once when she was brushing my hair.

My friend's 14 year old dog, Snoopy, does it when I go over to her house. I've only been there a handful of times, but when I am there, he sits next to me and growls at the people who have cared for him his whole life should they get too close to me. It's really weird.

Anyone have any idea? My sister is a vet and she says it's the damndest thing ever.

I have to admit I'm slightly jealous of this. I want to love on pretty much every dog I meet, but most of them won't come near me.

Hey xenu! Didn't know you had wondered over too.

Heh. I can hardly resist a thread about dogs.
