A dog changed my kid’s life when he was little. Dogs rule. Thank God Vadie was found, Lucy too.
My first pup was when I was 6, lived in the country with no kids close by. So me and my dog did everything outdoors together. I think it’s a shame they don’t live as long as we do. I’m 68 now and miss them all. I got 2, one a rescue blue healer cross and a little girl that’s a kelpie and border collie cross. As a kid me and the dog wrestled, hunted, and played. You get lost keep your dog close.
If the dog is a herd dog don’t scold the kids. The dog don’t let no body mess with the kid. My border collies own the herd, nobody messes with their herd. :)
