| Well I am by no means a professional, but if I had to give my interpretation based on what I know of Nina and how she is around my Dad I would definitely have to say she was being affectionate. She loves ALL people almost to a fault and has never shown any negative behavior around anyone. And although she IS a very high energy, "me-oriented", nose in everything type of dog who needs constant attention and training, she is a big sweety. I am curious to see if she will do this again and to whom. My Dad is quiet and gentle and kind and hasn't been feeling well lately. I thought maybe she sensed this and by leaning against him was sort of "protecting" him. That is how it appeared, and like I said was actually very endearing. |
