    Re: I think my snake loves me

    My dog rubs his nose on me, paws always wanting to be pet, that's not actually affection, its your dog being dominate[/quote]

    Not exactly. It depends on what the rest of their body is doing during the action.

    Showing dominance is not just one singular act. In one case pawing can actually be showing subservience, but the same action with a slightly different body posture can be dominance.
    Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs
    "Most of the people in our society are sheep. They are kind, gentle, productive creatures who can only hurt one another by accident."

    "Then there are the wolves," the old war veteran said, "and the wolves feed on the sheep without mercy."

    "Then there are sheepdogs," he went on, "and I'm a sheepdog. I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf."
