Ahahaha! Funny story. Wonder what secrets that dog had that only your cat knew? When you said your friend was "test-driving" the dog, I take that to mean seeing if they're compatible before she adopts him? She might want to take into consideration your cats' opinion of him, too. Cats Know Things, that we don't always see.
I've been trying to come to that conclusion... Addy's growing attached to the dog. :-/
I thought, because any other dog I've introduced her to is much smaller, that she was frightened by his size. He'd make a good watchdog, which is one of the roles we had in mind for one of the dogs we want to get. And he really wants her approval.
We took him out to the cafe this morning to see how he'd do with other dogs and people. He's totally cool with people, but he got defensive about one dog he sniffed noses with and started barking. He also freaked out when he first saw the cat, so he's definitely problematic with other pets.
I keep thinking though, that if he's young enough we could still inure him to the presense of other animals, and that it's just a matter of exposure.
