Nearby police department has a black German Shepard named Ben. His name is painted on the police car. He's the biggest German Shepard I've ever seen. He's beautiful but I wouldn't want to make him mad.
I know just what you mean about being big! I have never seen one this large, even on TV. This particular dog was really pleasant and friendly, he was literally chasing butterflys the day I saw him. His trainer told me the dog could be quite vicious when asked to be. The first night they had him on the job, he caught a burgler. By the time his handler got to him, the dog had all the guys clothes torn off.
