He is really a sweet dog. Gentle with people and other animals. He will clean the cat with his huge tongue. The cat loves it. When i sit on the sofa he will come and pat me with his paw to get my attention.. having a big dog is wonderful but nit for everybody. You need the room, the time and the resources to take care of them.
What these people are doing is wonderful.
