They do need to know who's the alpha male, so they can pick their job out in the pack. Vons job is to guard the place, and he does a pretty good job of that.
Not much goes on around here that he doesn't tell me about, and that actually makes him valuable when the s*** hit the the fan!
I get calls here about twice a month from liberal land looking for land or dirt to buy. He's trying to bite them, LOL! I feel safer already....
