We went outside one cold winters morning to find an abused, abandoned and freezing puppy who barked at me and was terrified. We fed him and gave him a warm place to sleep. He eventually settled down and I taught him to trust again and we have a very strong bond. He is super intelligent and watches my hands all the time to see my commands. All I have to do is point and he knows “go” we and going for a walk.
Our black dog, protecting us since 2004. Lovable and playful he has stolen my heart completely.

Looks a bit like our black (now grey) dog, wonderful companions
You may find him companionable, but to me that expression says, ‘Touch my human and you’re mutton!’ 🙂
Very true, no one can come near me.
I’ve always like his picture! ⬆
Ah, thank you.
I love the intelligent look… the attentiveness in its eyes… that dog is beautiful and must be a great companion…
My only regret is that I do not spend enough time with him.
He looks like the ideal companion, gb. What a lovely story, with a happy ending. 🙂
