We just could not do without

We put a deposit on this little guy last night. Some friends of ours gave us the connection...

Also, the man that lived next to the house we were staying at, shoed him out of his yard.

I will do what I can to ensure their safety

I've had a handful of strange occurrences with lost dogs (housed one for a couple of days, had to crawl through the woods to find one once, etc... each one of them made it home safely) all because I knew how much it would mean to me if someone ever did that for one of mine.

I know I'm not a perfect pet owner. No matter how careful you are, they're gonna find a way out on occasion (I've had 2 of them get loose on me) and all you can do at that point is rely on the kindness of others to get them home safely.

Sorry you lost your pup. Don't beat yourself up too badly, but please keep helpin' where you can. The simple act of putting a runaway into your back yard for a few minutes can save someone months of heartache.

Also, I agree with you completely about not cropping the ears. Boxers are not supposed to be bad ass, tough looking dogs. They are clowns.

My wife and I are in the same debate over a rotty.

They all have the bobbed tail, and people associate that look with a more aggressive dog. If you ever see a rotty without it's tail docked, I defy you to convince me that it's a mean dog.

That tail bopping in the air will melt anybody. When you have a dog with an 'aggressive' tag, I think it's a really good idea to do what you can to keep people from recoiling from it for precisely this reason.

I definitely will help when I can. I would have rather paid 100 bucks to get him out of doggie jail than to see him the last time like I did.
