Interaction between dogs. Narcissism / Co-dependency?

This is Jack and Max. Max (blond dog) was abused and a very little when I took him in. I took him in thinking he would perk up my other dog Jack (dark brown laying in the bed). I adopted Jack at the pound when he was 5yrs old. Hoping he would give me a reason to get up and someone to take care of. The person who surrendered him said he was homeless. Jack is really good with people and does the cutest things to get you to give him food or take him for his favorite thing, a walk. He is well liked by everyone who meets him. Max still has some puppy behavior, he is naive, gullible and just wants to play. He has suffered from abuse by a human when he was just a baby. He and I have very similar traits. Abuse, neurological issues, a bad foot and leg. I too have been called very naive and gullible. However I see in both my dogs that they both want the same thing from me, love. Max thinks love is playing and always being by my side. Jack thinks love is food and going outside for his favorite : a walk. Most humans that meet them for the first time always like Jack better. Max is to hyper or barks at a new person because he is scared of them. I have learned that Jack shows very Narc tendencies because he knows how to convince us humans to give him what he wants and Max is sensitive and co-dependent he is scared of new people, just wants to play. If someone takes the time to get to know him and he trusts you. He is very loving and shows it to you consistently with or without getting to play.. Jack will in the beginning with those he first meets but then after time he will no longer be waiting at the door for you. He knows you will take care of him and he wont bother to come out from under my bed when I come home. But I now see that both of these dogs are just looking for love in different ways from there former live experiences. They both have taught me a lot. Max has been there for me when no one else was. Max is like a forth child to me . However, I am so grateful to both of them. My dogs helped to teach me how life experiences can change a person. Don't take those you love for granted for some day the will be gone. Even the Jacks in this world.
