Einstein...Protector of the Island!

Here is the little dog who acts like the protector of the island I live on. His owner lives down the canal from me. Einstein roams the island, chasing whatever moves...he is fearless. He also will bark at almost everything and I've watched him swim the canal, about 60 feet across, to play with dogs out walking a human. He's my bud. I put out a bowl of water whenever he comes to pay me a visit on my deck. I pet and rub his chest to make him feel welcomed. Here are a few pictures I took of him this morning.

 He wants to go inside and checkout my place...

 Waiting for a chest rub...

Taking a few obligatory drinks...
