She sounds like such an unusual dog! And it's like she understood the circumstances under which you got her, needing a watchful guard dog to always be on duty...

She wasn’t interested in being man’s best friend, she wouldn’t play fetch or wag her tail at you, waiting for a treat but she’ll growl at outsiders whom she perceived as a threat to you and follow you around at a distance as if she’s your bodyguard.

I guess I'm a bit superstitious too because I'm inclined to agree with your aunt about her death!

Thank you for sharing Chelsea's story! Makes my decision to pick a winner even harder!!
