Awwww, what a good looking dog. I was just looking at Shepard pups today. Trying to decide if I want to get one. I’ll never understand how people can do such things.
WOOF!!!!
I’d vote for you to get one :) Best dogs in the world.
South40 — since you posted the original article about Courage, I think you’ll be happy to see this. :)
Thanks for alerting us to this story, that many of us followed carefully to close to a happy ending.
Most Excellent Doggy Ping!
We have 3. Once you have had a good one, there is no going back.
Ping-a-ling.
I don’t know what area you live in, but if you are in Southern California, you should check out The German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County — they saved the life of this dog and have many GS-s, including puppies for adoption, all rescues.
That is great that Courage is doing so well. Local communities so often will step up for a pet in need.
It brings out the best in us.
That’s what I’m reading, sounds like they make excellent family pets. Just got to find a good breeder and then talk my hubby into it...lol
I live in Michigan, on a small farm. Plenty of room to run. And will soon have chickens to chase...lol
I’ve had German Shepards and they are good dogs.
Looking GREAT!
Some people need to be treated like they treat their animals to see what it feels like.
OMG, he’s beautiful
Here’s a video you may not have seen. Sorry it’s from the Huffpost. I googled it about a german shepherd dog in Alaska leading a state trooper to a fire at his home. His owner actually told him to go get help.
My kind of dog. I have 5 of them.

You got that right.
Thanks for the ping!
