I have a friend who owns a Siberian Husky (named Wolf) that I get along very well with. He likes to crawl into my lap (!) while I rub his belly and he growls happily the entire time. He's the first dog that I've EVER heard growl for joy. He takes a lot of lap space, too! -Pete Zakel (..!{hplabs,amd,pyramid,ihnp4}!pesnta!valid!pete)
