Umm...newsflash. They're dogs. In nature, dogs get into a scrap every once in a while. These two didn't and probably never will. If they do, then I'm sure they'll settle it among themselves, you know...like...dogs. My job's to interfere if it gets out of hand (i.e. if either dog looks like it's intending to kill the other, the gun's coming out and one dog will be shot, it's that simple).

Y'all need to step down a bit from the over-humanization and remember that these are animals who perceive you only as the funny looking thing that gets them food when they do silly stuff for you. They do not "love" you, they do not have the capacity to "feel" in a capacity that we relate to, etc etc.

I got a Rott because I wanted a dog that is quiet and intimidates potential home intruders. The fact that he's naturally fun to be with is a bonus and I do like the little pooch but in no way does he rank on the same level as ANY human (family or stanger) or even my higher value material belongings.

What boggles my mind is that some if not most here seem to be the type that would take out a bank loan or sell a car or eat cheap food to pay/save for vet bills. Priorities, folks. Don't be the crazy cat lady of the dog owner world.

Maybe it's because I grew up on a farm with so many different animals (loads of dogs as well) that I have a more dog-eat-dog (sorry, pun intended) attitude towrd these things...but I'm really not the cold monster y'all seem to think I am.
