People always talk about dogs protecting the house, but mine would greet anyone with a toy. Is this normal?

AI Summary

Replies joked that many dogs are more social than protective, though some alert bark or act differently when something feels wrong.

My golden retriever would show the burglar where we keep the snacks. Protection is not his brand.

Mine would demand payment in tennis balls before helping anyone carry furniture.

Mine is not aggressive, but she alerts us when someone is outside. That is enough for me.

My big dog looks intimidating until he rolls over for belly rubs. Honestly, that is probably for the best.

My dog is friendly during the day, but if someone approaches the house at night, his whole attitude changes.
