These Two

One of these dogs has a clearly larger than life presence, whose mere physicality, elevated by an extreme amount of self confidence, intimidates any would be intruders and provides a sense of security for the entire household. The other one is an Irish Wolfhound.

We had a Wolfie stay at our house for 4 days while his owners couldn’t pick him up. Still a puppy but up to my stomach (I was 14) my friends called him “the weird monkey-spider-horse-dog thing” When the owners came to pick him uphe ran to them but as soon as they opened the door he wouldn’t hop into the truck, ran back to me and sat at my feet. They were calling him but he looked at me so I walked over to the truck and told him to jump in and he did but got right back out. They ended up picking him up and locking him in and left. I may or may not have cried when they left.

I went hiking in the Wicklow mountains in Ireland and it was covered in tall heathers. My friends and I came across a short woman standing amongst it all as if waiting for some thing. Up bounded one wolfhound up from behind a hill and I thought 'wow! A wolfhound!' Then two more just stood up from the heathers and I never even noticed them. It was amazing to see three of them in their element. Their tall stature making nothing of the terrain.

A long time ago, when I was much younger, I met a young beauty. I'm five feet, and this dog could stand on all 4s with her head on my shoulder without straining. SHe was on her way to be xrayed for possible hip dysplasia, which would determine if she lived and bred,or was euthanized. (She was clear.) Evidently all the breeders decided to eliminate the defect from the breed because it was too prevalent. She, too was a lap dog: one foot and her head in my lap,and she'd stay that way for as long as I sat still. She was a total sweetie, well-trained and loving.

Such a callous comment!!! That's like saying some breeds are more deserving than others!!! Just because your husband likes a breed doesn't mean the rest are rubbish, you know. You, your husband and what you two like are not the most important thing in the whole universe. Why are you healthy while so many people die every day? Same stupid question. Biology works that way, it's unfair lovely dogs last only a few years, but that doesn't give the right to despise other animals.

Those dogs are amazing. Yes, I know that they look a bit like an old rug left on rain but their minds are so wonderful.
