About a year ago, when Mac our 15yo, 90lb German Shepard was still with us, my sisters got GS puppies. They had no respect at all for any of the younger dogs in the extended pack, but seemed to be in awe of Mac. They'd sit at attention in front of him, hoping to be noticed, and gently bat at his face with their paw when he sniffed them. There favorite thing was when he would 'play' with them by sitting in the middle of the yard, they'd come near and he'd let out a single bark, and they'd go tearing around the yard, then come back to be barked at again. It was the cutest thing I think I've ever seen.
