Grew up with German Shepards and they are my favorite dog, I don’t live on a Farm anymore... I don’t know that 1/2 acre is big enough.

“Dog” obviously lived, if he’d died they would have shown it

I believe you are wrong; Didn't the man with the Machete kill him?

Dog was not with them when they left.

Had a Basset Hound that sought me out every time he got lost That was the stinkiest dog ever, but he loved me and I loved him (I think his owners, just lost him so I would give him a bath... even after he still stunk.) Long live GUS!

I was Pretty sure that I was choosing a Lab or a Shepard... talked to the lady at the pound and she asked me to keep an open mind, Chemistry is everything.... she is right, and I don’t have to choose tomorrow.

TCM is rerunning all the old Lassie movies every Saturday at noon, one each week - today’s, which I caught only part of, was called something like “Son of Lassie” and starred, in addition to a lookalike of the original Lassie, a twelve year old Elizabeth Taylor - made in 1946, the interesting thing about the film was that in it, Lassie’s son “Bill” had been a “war dog”, complete with his own military serial number, and had somehow helped rescue a bunch of soldiers from the enemy during fighting in the WWII Pacific. On returning he goes a bit berserk and kills a few sheep from neighboring farmers, and is given a court hearing to see if he should be put down. At the end of the film the man who had helped raise him gives an impassioned speech about how Bill has been through terrible experiences in the war, is literally exhausted and in pain from the experiences, and needs time to recuperate and be able to return to the society he left before - just like a lot of the men who are coming home from the war now, he adds. Of course everybody sees the light and Bill is happily reunited with Elizabeth in the end - maybe a bit of a stretch, but also maybe the first time what we now know as PTSD was publicized and portrayed in a sympathetic manner in the movies, for both man and beast......

There was a good old Disney-type movie in the 60’s about a dog titled “Greyfriars Bobby”. It was sad in parts but still good for kids.

That’s the way I remember it [him] and I have been worrying about the poor guy ever since.

Mine too. I'd love to have one but don't have the space.....plus their relatively short life span (approx. 10 yrs ?) and tendency to develop hip problems makes it hard on the owner.

"Blood" from a Boy and His Dog.

A telepathic dog that can warn you of danger and help you find a woman in a nuclear wasteland is definitely useful.
