They tolerate each other

- we did have another American Eskimo (bear) who we had to put down when he was 8 years old. Bear and midnight (cat) were buddies and played quite often.

You would see bear chase midnight then they switched and midnight chased bear....hilarious to watch

You have one interesting puppy - I have never heard of a dog dissociating....I do believe animals are very close to being human
