Very good article and made me re-think the situation. I think for now, he is content as the 'Main, top dog' of the home. I'm glad you guys are honest one here! Thank you!

rescuing another dog just to be buddies with your current dog is a terrible reason to get a second dog. Its a very common reason, and I myself was tempted to do it too, but you really have to think about your current dog and does he even WANT a buddy. We have a way of putting our human emotions onto our animals. Sounds to me like if you added another dog to the house he would be stressed and very unhappy, then think about the other dog who will be constantly getting beat up on. I think in this situation it would be a very bad idea to add a second dog just for Sidney's sake. If you browse some of the current topics on the main page there are 2 or 3 about adding a second dog. Gives you lots of food for thought.

Thanks for the advice and its true about human emotions getting in the way. And I wouldn't want the other dog to get hurt by Sidney, then I would feel extra bad for bringing them into it!
