At night when we're in bed, if Hank needs to go outside or if he needs to check on something outside he will come to my side of the bed and do a really soft, quiet, gentle bark to wake me up. He is just an amazing, smart guy and We love him very much..

Bindi is the perfect mother in every way.. When we go to bed at night, Bindi will wait until we're in bed, then she will jump on the bed and kiss us good night, she may lay down on the bed for a while. but mostly she just kisses us and jumps back down. If Bindi has to go outside during the night, she will gently come to my side of the bed and touch me with her nose to gently wake me up. Bindi is just an amazing girl.
