Even a good dog can get nasty if abused. It's sad, really. We get the newsletter every few months from Basset Rescue, and some dogs are listed as bad with cats or children, or should be a one-dog household or such. The advantage of adopting from the rescue is they have a clue what the dog is like.
As far as the little manipulators are cute... yes, they are. Luckily our two don't get in a *lot* of trouble. They do have the bad habit or two.
