Always move forward. Never look back.

Very nice.  He's one of those African dogs isn't he?

I will blather on about his conformation.  I love his laid back shoulderd and arched neck.  His chest is deep, his front legs are straight, his rear legs look well angulated.  He looks like he will be able to run like the wind.  (I just got back from walking the dogs up and down the road.  He can run like the wind)

He is a much more timid boy that he appears in the picture.  That's why I named him Milo.  He's doing so much better after being home with me and the rest of the dogs in just these few hours.  I can bring out his self confidence.  I've done that with dogs before.  It doesn't happen over night.  I think I'll give him a push start by changing his name to Bruno.  I have never heard of a subservient Bruno, have you?

Barb, A mentally retarded lady came to the shop yesterday and asked if I knew someone who would take her dog.  She seemed to be distressed.  She didn't have the dog with her.  I told her that I would have to meet the dog before I could help her.  She came today.  She was on foot like yesterday but carrying the dog today.  I saw this terrified trembling small dog.  His eyes were full of fear and despair.  I knew that if I took him I'd be saving a life.  I've been wanting another dog for a while.  I've been to the humane society several times but never saw one that needed me.  This one does.

Dennis, he's nothing but a mutt off the street.  Any resplendence to a purebred is purely coincidental.

I'm not knowledgeable about dogs but I think he is a beauty!
Happy Aquariuming,

Its hard to tell how big he is. Is he a little dog?

About 15" at the shoulder.  He'll grow a bit larger but mostly he'll fill out.
Always move forward. Never look back.
