Here is a sweet story about Johnny Angel that I wanted to share.
We went for a walk today ( all 8 dogs) when I heard distress barking
coming from some distance, counted heads and went back to look for
thirteen year old Bubba who was missing. Johnny Angel ran ahead of me
and disappeared behind a huge Norway spruce. When I got to Bubba, he
was splayed out on a patch of ice and could not get up. Johnny Angel
was enthusiastically kissing and licking Bubbba's face and lips as
though to say "Buck up Bubba - Margot's coming to help you up!"
Later today, we went for another walk and Johnny Angel divided his
time between running ahead with the other young dogs and running back
to Bubba ,who always trails behind us about 200 feet, to kiss and lick
him. I do not think I have ever seen more sensitive and solicitous
dogs than the german shepherd breed. Johnny Angel is well named and a
prime example of
this particularly endearing trait.
Just look at those eyes!
