Both Andariel (my old BP) and Sprocket (my BCI) are extremely graceful in that sense. Sprocket will scare herself sometimes when she is extending out to smell/reach something and she'll lose her footing and come back to my arm/leg/shoulder as fast as she can and clutch it as hard as she can. Sorta like when pilots get home from a really bad flight they kiss the ground or thank god for being on the ground.
