Dogs on the other hand, are followers and have a masochistic trait. You abuse them and they still need your love. They come back again and again. They are needy for a top dog to tell them what to do and tend to be loyal to a fault. They like to get together and feel more secure belonging and running in a pack though they tend to fight each other for the favor of the leader. Dogs also smell each others butts to get a read on the competition and know what they are about.
