Manipulative Dog Plays His Owner Like A Fiddle
There’s an ancient Latin proverb that says, “The wolf changes his coat, but not his disposition.”
In this case, the wolf-like dog has changed neither his coat nor his disposition. After destroying his owner’s couch, he brazenly spurns deference, instead laughing in the face of his would-be punisher.
The owner, weakened and deceived, falls prey to the wolf.
