When I lived in Africa, if I was working under the Landy , I could say to my Rottweiler, pass me the 17mm spanner...and he would...the locals were amazed and called him The Mechanical Dog..

I bet they watched from a distance if their was a Rotti wandering about lose

He was very famous...we lived in a remote town of about 50,000 of which about half a dozen had European origins....once we were walking across this waste ground and a bunch of school boys on bicycles went past chanting Ben Ben Ben....and one little school girl following a few meters behind chanted Bouba Bouba Bouba....

Africans in my very limited experience have a very cautious and healthy respect for big dogs with sharp teeth.
