I met a couple of dogs recently. I didn't know that dogs have diverse personalities as we humans do. I have jotted down the differences. All of these were observed by me except crying and getting wet in rain (about which I was informed).
*********************************************************************
| Traits | Dog A | Dog B | |
| Wagging Tail | Will wag often. | Of course capable of wagging tail but not inclined to wagging often. | |
| Anger | Capable of immense anger. Will even bite close people if provoked. | Generally quiet. | |
| Needs affection | Loves to be stroked. Loves to play with family and to be allowed inside the house. Hates to be asked to go out of the house. Hates it when family leaves him (when they have to go outside). Insists on respect and affection. Will bare his teeth if angered / provoked. | Prefers to be alone. Not keen about getting inside house. Doesn't mind if asked to go out of the house into the garden. Not particular / doesn't care as much about respect and affection. | |
| Speed | Slower, normal body structure and height. | Faster, thinner and taller. | |
| Getting wet in rain | Hates to get wet in rain. | No problem with getting wet. | |
| Crying | Fairly predictable. Certain things are unacceptable and he will howl. | Howls more when dog A howls. | |
Strangers | Doesn't tolerate strangers. | Tolerant of strangers |
| Eating | Will hide bone somewhere and eat it over a long period of time | Will eat bone immediately. |

Interesting, no?
Dog A comes across as mature, capable of displaying a range of emotions while dog B comes across as more innocent, immature. Dog A is more martian, Dog B is saturnine. Being detached is also perhaps seen by us as being immature.
