This male Great Dane briefly sniffs the strangers, then becomes alert upon seeing a person outside the fenced area, and exhibits a short bark. The dog approaches the gate, briefly stares the person in the face, then moves away toward his owner, grabbing a plastic bowl.

This nearly adolescent Maremmano-Abruzzese Shepherd dog reacts to the presence of a stranger with lowered tail and ears back, orienting toward an escape route. When the person moves nearer, the dog displays alertness and ears back, averting his gaze, then orienting in a frontal position in a defensive posture, exhaling noisily, and gives a muffled short bark, backing away before seeking support from his owner and positioning himself behind her.
