Give me a grateful mutt any day. They make the best companions.
All of my dogs in the past have been ‘Pound Found’ with the exception of The Best Dog Ever, Rufus. Basset Hound. The LOVE of my life. Got him for $100 (papered) from some friends that had a new house, a new baby and a new puppy and Rufus had to go.
There have been no others that have compared, though Black Lab Cinder came very close. :) Rufus was my Dog Soulmate. 15 years - never sick a day in his life. Had a massive stroke and that was all she wrote. He had a very good life and truly enhanced mine.
I love dogs. Currently we have two Beagles as house dogs, and we raise Treeing Walker Coon Hounds and Plott Hounds for hunting raccoon and black bear. Four puppies running around the farm these days, learning the basic commands from me. Beau takes it from there for the hunting skills.
It’s a lot of work, but a lot of fun. :)
“Give me a grateful mutt any day. They make the best companions.”
Amen!
They eat whatever you give them, guard your place and love you every day of their lives.
