BEST DOGS were always the ones I had at the moment. (Except for DEMPSeY who was dumb as shit!)
Dogs I've gotten for the kids who became an immediate part of the family. A couple taken from the pound. Photos taken from the net ...
First shot is a replica of HARLEY AND DAVID. Lab pups. Both died within a couple of months of each other about three years later, (Cancer related.)
A very sad experience. They loved diving into the deep end of the pool to retrieve a weighted ball.
Second shot is similar to THUMPER. Smartest critter I ever had. Led me to his buddy (Hot Pants) who was hit by a car abut a half mile from the house while following the kids to school. That episode was mentioned earlier.
THUMPER would honestly join in during cocktail conversations. He would sit and listen and always respond.
Someone stold him and he became a star .... according to a family legend which I believe is 98% factual.
The 3rd shot is GRIZZLEY (internet photo). Very dumb but very fun. Ask for the morning newspaper and he'd run down the block and return with a stolden one in his mouth and a wagg'en tail.
Had many more but three's enough for you GetBigger.
Good dogs are great people!
