Magnum the protector

We have witnessed this a few times where when Andy or I go out of sight and leave Dane sitting in the yard, like if we run in the house to grab something. (we still keep a close eye on him.) Anyway I was trying to get a picture of this. Magnum would only get close to the stroller when we both were out of sight. Andy went inside to watch from a window and I had to go around the corner of the house and sneak back. The second we were both out of sight Magnum steps close to the stroller in guard dog mode. I do hate his messes but what a great dog, always protecting his family.
