I love how he adapted their personalities to a young age, especially Clark being super friendly. One of my favorite episodes of the animated Justice League Unlimited was the one where they were all turned into kids. That one strip is all it took to hook me.

It's not even alive!! RE the losing his shit. Athena's terrible about that. And she's a freaking Rottie, so people think she's going to eat them. Which she's not, but when she ROARS I'm sure it's scary. Dozer could never be that scary. Boy, is he ever a great little dude. Dozer!! Dozer, that’s not a dog! It’s not even alive!!

Vicki's reply went along the lines of "If you were going to get bit, it would've already happened." ... and then the dog bared his teeth, growled that growl of a disapproving 100 pound wolf looking dog. The dude bailed. Shadow sat on the curb waiting for his cookie. The other telling moment was when Sage was about 2 and we went for a hike behind JPL. She held his leash and he walked next to her and kept positioning himself between Sage and anyone or anything that came near. As long as a dog feels like it has a job to do, it's going to be cool.
