Did anybody love how protective Spongebob was of Gary in the episode Ghost host.

After the Dutchman came to haunt him Spongebob ran out of his house to get help, first he asked Squidward for help but he says he doesn't believe in ghost, and then asked Patrick for help but closed his house because he was too scared when he heard the Dutchman's name, but then heard Gary scream and ran back to his house and saw his pet snail in the Dutchman's hands with Spongebob saying "Don't you dare hurt my little Gary".

I just love that line because it showed how much he loves Gary and I never hear anyone talk about it and I think it's really sweet of Spongebob telling the Dutchman not to hurt his pet snail.

What do you think?
