Dog is better than a burly bodyguard

PET DOG. A lady who comes home past midnight daily from work always has something to look forward to - her big pet dog, a Belgian Malinois (pronounced ma -lahn-wa), is always waiting for her.

KISS ON CHEEK. Once she steps out of the taxi, the dog rushes to her, stands on his hind legs, and gives her a kiss on the cheek.

CLEARS WAY FOR MASTER. Once this ritual is done, the dog named Harry, makes way for his master by barking menacingly at everyone he meets. "Ahaka ning iro-a, oi," a neighbor said.
