He sat with slightly tilted head. He didn't wish to be misled. The command seemed arbitrary, and, frankly, pointless - very. Why would he want to sit like stone when he could be burying a bone? As a proud bulldog of station, he had some reservation. Chewing on nonviolent resistance and his owner's strange insistence, he decided not to risk it. After all, it was a biscuit.

Hello David, Well you made me grin with so much wit and warmth packed into a bulldog’s stubborn heart! I love how you capture the inner logic of our four-legged friends, their quiet rebellion, and the irresistible pull of a biscuit. Very clever, charming glimpse into canine philosophy. Spring Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
