LINDA RILEY: Baron’s superpower is his amazing
loyalty and how helpful he is around the house.
COMM: Baron is a two-year-old German Shepherd,
who’s lived with dog trainer Linda and her four-year-old son Alexander since he was just 12 weeks old.
LINDA RILEY: I first started training Baron
the day we got him. Baron is very smart, he
catches on very quickly. German Shepherds
overall are very eager to please and they
want to learn.
COMM: But super smart Baron has been learning
some rather unusual skills.
LINDA RILEY: He can help load the dishwasher,
help wipe the windows, he likes dusting, he
can sweep the floor and he can mop, he can
unload and load the drier and washer, he can
put the toilet seat down behind Alexander
when he forgets.
LINDA RILEY: He can do the light switches
on and off. So I don’t push him too hard,
we kind of just have a good time with everything
that we do.
LINDA RILEY: Alexander and Baron have a very
special relationship. They are joined at the hip.
LINDA RILEY: Alexander will have Baron clean
up his toys or he will take him up to his
room and have Baron pick-up Alexander’s
toys and clean his room. The more Alexander
can get Baron to do stuff, the stronger their
bond grows.
COMM: Baron isn’t just eager to help out
with the household chores. He is truly part
of the family.
LINDA RILEY: Baron is like an over protective
dad. When we’re out in public, and it’s
the three of us, Baron will be on outside
of Alexander, pushing Alexander into me. When
people come up to talk to us or greet us,
he will cut them off and he stands in front
of the people, kind of giving that barrier.
Anytime we’re out, his eyes are constantly
on Alexander. He does not look away. He is
all that matters. If Alexander falls down,
he cries. He is the first one there. Even after
long days, he is still wagging his tail, drooling
all over me, bringing the ball for me to throw.
He is just always making me laugh. He is very
loyal. I have no doubt that that dog would
give his life for us, if he had to.
ALEXANDER: I love Baron. He is my best friend.
