as a 3 month old running the streets, he grew up to 80 lbs and had this frighting "COME PET ME" bark
that scared people until they figured out he only wanted petting. Loved everybody and all other animals.
5 times in his 13 years he stood next to me and growled at people I thought I could trust, had little to do
with them after Rommel showed me they couldn't be trusted. Some days his one ear never stood up.
