Being brave isn't the lack of fear. Being brave is acting despite fear.

Max deserves all the smooches and treats 💜
Thunder has never killed any of his family, because of his brave work!
You cannot be brave unless you're afraid.
I had to sit on the floor to invite cuddles, but he finally came in and is now resting on his stinky blanket. To be completely honest, he was only out like that for a few minutes, but bless his heart he was trying so hard. The fosters called him "Sergeant" because he was bossy and protective of his siblings.
What a good boy 🥺 I hope he gets treats for protecting you from the thunder so well
Well you're here to post about it so I know he did a good job.
Such a brave boy. Give this dog a Dino bone and a medal
