Meet the little black dog named Zara

My daughter does weird stuff... and so I take pictures of it!
And below is a picture that she took of her dear friend:
Poor Zara looks justifiably scared....

Zara is a very sweet dog.

Eliza is a very sweet girl.

Zara will follow Eliza around as long as Eliza gives her any attention (positive or negative).

Eliza loves to PLAY with Zara.

Zara loves when Eliza opens the screen doors and loves to slip outside before anyone can try to stop here.

Eliza hates when Zara does that.

Zara loves to attack Eliza's stuffed animals and ball-shaped toys and drags them out the doggy door. So does Orah (the big white poodle).

Eliza hates that.

Zara loves to eat off of Eliza's plate.

Eliza hates when Zara does that or even sniffs near her plate while she's eating her food at the table, UNLESS Eliza decides she wants to share it with Zara, then she tries to give Zara her left-overs after every meal, every day, no matter what the food was-- broccoli, pears, chocolate = fail. Meat, breads, cheese = LOVE.

Zara loves when Eliza comes home. Especially when Eliza's been gone for a couple days at her Dad's house.

Eliza loves to run around CRAZY and have Zara "chase" after her all crazy. It's HILARIOUS to watch... until someone gets hurt or loses an eye.

Zara loves walks with Eliza, but not as much when Eliza's the one holding her leash...

Eliza loves to bully Zara... and then Eliza hates going on time-out.

It's a Love/Hate relationship...

... and I'd say it's the closest thing Eliza has to a younger sibling!

You captured their complex relationship accurately. I am impressed that Eliza has gotten Zara to obey her "sit", etc commands. They do love each other, though!
