My girlfriend Claire and I met some dogs while walking around LA. This video contains 2 beagles, 3 boxers, 7 chihuahuas, 1 collie, 5 pit bulls, 1 rottweiler, 4 terrier mixes, and 2 other kinds of mixes. Each one – from the mama chihuahua in pink pajamas to the spiralling rottweiler – protects their home. I’m reminded of the Ancient Greek sage Heraclitus, who once said “Dogs bark at strangers.”
